If you look on a Periodic Table of elements, it is separated into parts, normally color coded.
If you draw a staircase starting at the bottom of Oxygen #6 , all the elements to the right are nonmetals, including hydrogen
Lignite is a non-metallic substance.
The substance that results when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal consists of ionic bonds, and the substance's melting point also is high. When electrons are transferred from metal to nonmetal, ionic bonds are formed. However, when electrons are shared between two nonmetals, covalent bonds are formed.
The solubility of the substance in water would be least helpful in determining whether it is a metal or nonmetal. Both metals and nonmetals can vary widely in their solubility characteristics; for instance, some metals are soluble in water, while many nonmetals are not. Other properties, such as electrical conductivity and malleability, are much more indicative of a substance's classification as a metal or nonmetal.
Nails are metal.
A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
An ionic compound is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion. The metal ion donates electrons to the nonmetal ion, forming a stable electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ion and the negatively charged nonmetal ion. This results in the formation of a lattice structure in the solid state.
Without knowing the specific element f, it is difficult to determine if it is a metal or nonmetal. Some elements can exhibit properties of both depending on the conditions. Can you provide more information about element f for a more accurate answer?
Metal is metal. Nonmetal is everything else.
Oxidation numbers do not determine if an element is a metal or a nonmetal. The classification of an element as a metal or a nonmetal is based on its position in the periodic table and its physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table, while nonmetals are found on the right side.
Is ceramic metal or nonmetal
Calcium Chloride is an ionic compound. You see, for a substance to be classified as either a non-metal or a metal, it has to be in elemental form. Calcium Chloride is a compound, so you can't say whether it is a non-metal or a metal. However, of the elements that make up this compound, Calcium is a metal and Chlorine is a non-metal.
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
