What are some of the properties that helped scientists organize elements into metals and nonmetals?

Some properties that helped scientists organize elements into metals and nonmetals include conductivity (metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity), malleability and ductility (metals can be hammered or stretched into shape), and luster (metals are shiny when polished). On the other hand, nonmetals tend to be poor conductors of heat and electricity, brittle when solid, and lack the characteristic metallic luster.


Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?

Yes, there are more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table. Nonmetals include elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, while metals include elements like iron, copper, and gold. The majority of elements on the periodic table are nonmetals.


Which of the following is a property of nonmetals poor conductors of electric current very reactive with water malleable shiny?

Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.


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)"


Are all of the elements in Groups 13 through 15 metals?

Nope. Only those surrounding the staircase line in the periodic table are metalliods. Boron(B), Silicon(S), Germanium(Ge), Arsenic(As), Antimony(Sb), Tellurium(Te) are metalloids. Aluminum(Al) and Polonium(Po) are metals. The others are non-metals.

Why non metals found in more compounds than metals?

Even though there are about five times more elements that are metals than nonmetals, there are more nonmetals than metals found in compounds. Nonmetals form many more compounds than metals because living organisms are composed almost entirely of nonmetals. There are more than 8.7 billion living organisms on Earth.
