Look at columns 14 & 15
Column 14: (Group IVA)
Carbon is a non-metal
Silicone and Germanium are semi-metals.
Tin & Lead are metals.
Column 15: (Group VA)
Nitrogen and Phosphorous are non-metals.
Arsenic and Antimony are semi-metals
Bismuth is a metal.
There are many more than just two families... There are, from left to right, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, calcogens, halogens, and noble gases. Along with several others you've never heard of because you obviously know nothing about chemistry.
Okay... you probably wouldn't even ask this question if you knew nothing about chemistry so don't feel bad. but in general there aren't 2 families. there are actually 3. Metals, nonmetals, metalloids and unknown.
Metals: conduct electricity & heat. shiny, hard.
Nonmetals: dull, do not conduct heat and electricity well, brittle.
Metalloids: have both metal and non metal qualities.
Hope i answered your question!!!
Groups or families are the vertical columns on the periodic table. Periods are the horizontal rows on the Periodic Table.
Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.
metals, metalloids, and non-metalsThese are roughly grouped from left to right on the periodic table. The metals are on the left, the non-metals are on the right, and the metalloids are inbetween. On many student periodic tables there is a dark, staircase-looking line that marks which elements are metalloids.
Non-metals are the elements in groups 14-16 of the periodic table. The nonmetals are Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Selenium. The first two columns, the middle 9 columns except La and Ac on the periodic table are metals.
Metalloids are the border lines between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table.
It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.
metalloids
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.
The 'p' block elements of periodic table.
Nonmetals on the periodic table include elements such as hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Metalloids are found along the staircase on the periodic table and include elements such as boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
The alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, the transition metals, metalloids, nonmetals, including the halogens and the Nobel gasses.A simplified list including general groups and families of elements.
Non-metals are located on the very right of the Periodic Table. Metals are on the left.
Well, several are, and from left to right. Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals. Transition metals. Metaloids. Nonmetals. Halogens. Nobel gasses.
Metals are more common on the periodic table than nonmetals and metalloids combined. The majority of elements on the periodic table are classified as metals.
Elements on the periodic table that display some characteristics of metals and some characteristics of nonmetals are categorized as metalloids. Examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
The Periodic table can be divided into nine families of elements each having similar properties. The families include: Alkali metals Alkaline metals The Transition metals Other metals Metalloids Non-metals Noble gases Rare Earth
Metals are found on the left and center of the periodic table, while nonmetals are found on the far right. Metalloids, which share properties of both metals and nonmetals, are located along the zigzag line on the right side of the periodic table.
In the periodic table, metals are found on the left side, nonmetals on the right side, and metalloids in between. Metals tend to be good conductors of electricity and heat, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Examples of metals include iron and copper, nonmetals include nitrogen and oxygen, and metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
