The majority of elements in the periodic table are?

Metals (as opposed to non-metals and semi-metals) or solids (as opposed to liquids and gases). There could possible be more answers as your questions is not very specific.


Where are the metals semi metals and nonmetals located on the periodic table?

Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.


How do scrap yards separate metals from non magnetic metals?

They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.


Difference between metals non metals?

There are a number of ways in which a metal can be differientiate a metal from a non-metals, these involve contrasting the properties between metals and non-metals and testing them to distinguish them from one another. Some contrasting properties between metals and non-metals: 1.) Metals conduct electricity whereas non-metals do not. 2.) Metals are shiny whereas non-metals are not. 3.) Metals are malleable whereas non-metals are brittle. 4.) Metals often have a higher boiling/melting point than non-metals. 4.) Metals are hard whereas non metals are not.


14 properties of metals?

1. All metals lose electrons however gold can form aurides. 2. All metals conduct electricity. 3. All metals do metallic bonding. 4. All metals have free electrons. 5. All metals react with fluorine. 6. No metals are gases at RTP, there're either liquid (caesium, gallium, mercury) or solid. 7. Nearly all metals are shiney silver in colour except copper, gold and osmium. 8. All metals are at least fairly good conductors of heat. 9. All metals form atleast 1 compound soluble in water. 10. All metals have atleast 1 full s subshell This is way to broad of a question to possibly get 14, there are many different groups of metals the s block metals which are split into alkali and alkali earth metals, transition metals, poor metals, rare earth metals which are split into lanthanoids and actinoids.
