What else can I help you with?
Do the elements go from metals to nonmetals or nonmetals to metals?
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
What happens to the reactivity of elements in groups as the atomic numbers increase across a period?
they become more reactive since you are moving from left to right on the Periodic Table, the elements in group 17 are the most reactive.
What happens to reactivity of elements in groups labeled a as atomic numbers increase across a period?
they become more reactive since you are moving from left to right on the Periodic Table, the elements in group 17 are the most reactive.
Does inert mean the same as reactive?
No, they're antonyms. Inert- not moving Reactive- quick to react
Where is one most likely to find rocks that have become smooth and rounded?
River beds.
What non metals can't conduct electricity?
Nonmetals such as sulfur, phosphorus, and iodine are unable to conduct electricity because they lack free-moving electrons in their atomic structure. This results in these nonmetals being poor conductors of electricity.
Does inert mean the same thing as reactive?
No, they're antonyms. Inert- not moving Reactive- quick to react
Why compounds formed from non metals normally do not conduct electricity?
Compounds formed from nonmetals do not conduct electricity because nonmetals typically do not have free-moving electrons that can carry an electric current. In these compounds, the electrons are held tightly by the atoms, preventing them from moving freely to conduct electricity.
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity, as they have free-moving electrons that can carry electric current. Nonmetals, on the other hand, are poor conductors of electricity, as they lack free-moving electrons to conduct electricity effectively.
What happens to non metals across the periodic table?
Moving from left to right across a period, up to but not including the noble gases (group 18), reactivity increases. Moving down a group, the reactivity of the elements decreases. Fluorine is the most reactive element.
Why would nometals be unlikely to have the type of bonding shown here?
Nonmetals are unlikely to have metallic bonding because they do not have the free-flowing electrons necessary for this type of bonding. Metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons moving freely throughout a lattice of metal cations, which nonmetals do not possess. Instead, nonmetals are more likely to form covalent or ionic bonds depending on their electronegativity.
What part of a train is moving in the opposite direction then the rest?
The bottom of the wheels.
