Can all elements on the periodic table be classified as metals or nonmetals explain?

No, all elements on the periodic table cannot be classified as either metals or nonmetals. Some elements, known as metalloids, have properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals. These elements are typically found along the zigzag line on the periodic table.


Are there more elements to be found?

Yes, scientists believe that there are still undiscovered elements that have not yet been synthesized or confirmed. The periodic table continues to be expanded as new research and experiments are conducted to uncover new elements.


Describe the general process by which new elements are synthesized?

New elements are synthesized through nuclear processes such as fusion, fission, and neutron capture in environments like supernovae or particle accelerators. These processes involve altering the number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus to create a different element. The creation of new elements releases or absorbs energy, and the resulting elements may be unstable and undergo radioactive decay.


What does synthisised mean?

"Synthesized" means something that has been created by combining different elements or components to form a cohesive whole. It is often used in the context of chemistry, music, and literature to indicate the process of combining various parts to form a new entity.


Is this statement true or false The periodic table of the elements is now complete because there are no more elements to add.?

False. The periodic table is not complete as new elements are still being discovered or synthesized by scientists. These elements are typically new, man-made elements that are highly unstable and exist only for a very short time.
