Do all nonmetals have some similar physical properties?

Non-metals are much more diverse than metals, however, they all have some similar physical properties. Non-metals are not good conductors of heat or electricity. Solids are usually brittle, non-ductile, not shiny, and at least partially transparent or translucent.


Which element would you expect to have some properties of a metal and nonmetals?

Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are located on the periodic table along the staircase between metals and nonmetals. Examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.


Are nonmetals least reactive?

Some are but the most reactive are also non-metals.


What are the ranks of the periodic table families from most to least reactive?

Most reactive metals are alkali metals, most reactive nonmetalas are halogens.Least reactive metals are platinum metals; least reactive nonmetals are noble gases.


What comes first the metals or nonmetals?

Metal like Sodium Chloride. Sodium is the Metal and Chloride is the Nonmetal.


Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?

Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.


What properties do non metals have in common?

Elements that are classified as non-metals are characterized by a tendency to undergo chemical reactions in which they acquire electrons; this compares to metals which tend to lose electrons. In slightly more technical terms, this means that non-metals are oxidizing agents and metals are reducing agents; when you mix metals and non-metals together, they tend to react with each other, in what is sometimes called a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation). Other than that, non-metals are generally softer (or gaseous) and less shiny than metals are, they generally do not conduct electricity as well as metals do, they do not have the silvery color of metals.


Are non metals least electronegative?

Nonmetals are not necessarily the least electronegative elements, but they generally have higher electronegativity values compared to metals. Within the periodic table, noble gases are typically the least electronegative elements, as they have a complete outer electron shell and have low tendency to attract electrons.


What are three main classifications of elements?

There are at least two possible answers to this question. The two most usual ones are probably: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids; or main group, transition elements, and inner transition elements.


What are the differentiate of elements and metals?

Some elements are metals; others are not. You are familiar with the general physical properties of common metals such as iron, copper, silver and gold. The other metallic elements are those that have similar physical or chemical properties. There are also some other elements that are similar enough, such as antimony, that they considered to be metals by some people. Metals are typically at least somewhat hard, shiny, able to be pressed or hammered into shape without breaking or cracking (unlike glass, for example) and good conductors of electricity and heat.


Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity?

Nonmetals, such as oxygen or sulfur, are typically gases or brittle solids at room temperature. They have poor conductivity of heat and electricity due to a lack of free electrons to carry the charge.


Are the halogens most reactive nonmetals or the least reactive nonmetals?

The Halogens are the most reactive non-metals. However, their reactivity decreases as you go down the group. Most reactive Fluorine>Chlorine>Bromine>Iodine>Astatine Least reactive. However, Astatine is not fully characterised because it is radio-active, and consequently is not found in open(school) labs.
