The zig zag line is called the "staircase" because of its appearance. This line is the separation between metals and non-metals. Elements touching the line or staircase are called semi-metals or metalloids. These semi-metals often have some properties of both metals and non-metals.

What feature on the periodic table separates the metals and non-metals?
The zigzag line on the periodic table separates metals from non-metals. Metals are found to the left of this line, while non-metals are generally located to the right of the line.
Where are the non metals found in the periodic table found?
The upper right corner except for hydrogen which is in the top left.
What is the purpose of the zig zag lne on the periodic table?
The zig-zag line (or sometimes known as the staircase) separates the metals in the periodic table from the non-metals. Metals are present on the left of the zigzag line and non metals to its right. The elements on the staircase are known as metalloids.
What is the staircase called along the periodic table?
The staircase along the periodic table is called the "staircase of metalloids" or "zigzag line." It separates the metals on the left from the nonmetals on the right and helps to distinguish between the properties of elements in different regions of the table.
Where on the periodic table would you find metals and nonmetals?
The metalloids split the table these are a diagonal group of elements, B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te. To their right are the non metals to the left the metals. There are many more metals than any other type of element. See Wikipedia article "Periodic table (metals and non metals)"
What is to the right of the zigzag line on the periodic table?
