There are always quirks, but, as a general rule, you can apply the following. --The only conductors on the table are the "metals", which refer to atoms that have plenty of outer shell electrons to transfer in a flow of current.
These conductors are found in the third column of the table through the twelfth column (Including the Lanthinide and Actinide series). Also, if you draw a diagonal line between Aluminum and Polonium, anything on the line or in the boxes underneath it will also conduct slightly under certain conditions. Everything else has to be exposed to a high potential difference to carry a current; thus, they are the non-conductors.

Poor conductors of heat?
Any non-metal on the periodic table. Compounds such as plastic, wood, etc. [Take note that graphite is a conductor.]
What are the borderline elements called on the periodic table?
The "borderline" elements on the periodic table are the diagonal row of elements that separates the metals from the non-metals. They are called metalloids and the amphoteric line.
What is a chart that lists all the known elements?
It is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
What group is co3 in the periodic table?
CO3 is not placed in periodic table. Only elements are arranged in periodic table.
Where are all the elements on earth listed?
The periodic table.
Non conductors in the periodic table?
Generally, non metals are non conductors (with exceptions such as graphite, fullerene etc)
What group on the periodic table are usually bad conductors?
Normally non-metals but there are exceptions
What types of elements on the periodic table are conductive?
Metals present in the periodic table are conductors.
Is a semiconductor on the periodic table?
Most metalloids are semi-conductors.
What are the many different ways elements on the periodic table are classified?
1.metals, semi-metals, non metals 2.Solid, liquid, gas 3.Conductors Semi-conductors Insulators
What are two characteristics of nonmetals on the periodic table?
They are bad conductors, and they are dull.
Poor conductors of heat?
Any non-metal on the periodic table. Compounds such as plastic, wood, etc. [Take note that graphite is a conductor.]
A major region of the periodic table It includes the noble gases the halogen element families and other elements that are non-conductors this region is known as?
nonmetals
What are the characteristics non metal?
Some characteristics of non-metals are that they are poor conductors of electricity and heat, brittle, and have high electronegativities. On the Periodic Table, examples of non-metals are nitrogen, carbon, the halogens, and sulfur.
Are halogens good conductors of electricity?
Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, and it is located in group 7 of the periodic table, i.e., it is a halogen. It is a non-metal and thus is a poor conductor of both electricity and heat.
What part is the non-metal on the Periodic Table?
non metals are seen towards the right side of the periodic table
Where on the periodic table will you find the metals non-metals and metalliods?
Non-metals and metalloids are found to the right on the periodic table.
