No. There would be no sun or stars without hydrogen and so none of the heavier elements would be formed. All life forms on earth are based on carbon - a non-metal. Most of them conatin organic compounds which are mainly based on non-metallic compounds. The need to breath oxygen (a non metal).
What else can I help you with?
Would you expect nonmetals to have larger electron affinities than metals?
Yes. Non metals have larger electron affinity than metals as non metals accept electrons more easily than metals.
Are ther more metals than non metals in the periodic table?
yes
Is a semi metal hard?
Their hardness will be less than that of metals but more than that of non metals. Hence the name, semi metals or metalloids.
Which is more stable non metals or metals?
Metals are generally more stable than non-metals due to their low ionization energy and tendency to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Non-metals, on the other hand, have higher electronegativity and tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This makes metals more likely to form stable compounds and exhibit metallic bonding, which contributes to their stability.
Why do non metals gain electrons from metals?
Non-metals gain electrons from metals because non-metals have a higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger pull on electrons. Metals tend to lose electrons easily due to their low electronegativity, making them more likely to transfer electrons to non-metals in ionic bonding to achieve stable electron configurations.
Are metals more important than non metals to society and why?
This distinction is not adequate.
Are the non metals not that important?
Nothing in the World is UNIMPORTANT.We need more non metals than metals....our life is the proof
Are there more non-metal elements than metallic ones?
there are more metals than non-metals on the periodic table
Would you expect nonmetals to have larger electron affinities than metals?
Yes. Non metals have larger electron affinity than metals as non metals accept electrons more easily than metals.
Are ther more metals than non metals in the periodic table?
yes
Are there more metals than non metals?
Yes, 3 or 4 times as many elements are metallic. Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.
Is a semi metal hard?
Their hardness will be less than that of metals but more than that of non metals. Hence the name, semi metals or metalloids.
Are there more metals or nonmetals?
There are more metals than non-metals. This occurs because of the transition metals group. When looking at a group on the periodic table the transition metals makes up a large portion because they are the atoms that take use of the the d orbital for electrons. The d orbital has room for 10 electrons and therefore there is a large number of transition metals per group.
Are there more metalic elements or nonmetalic elements listed on the periodic table?
There are more metals than nonmetals on the periodic table. There are 18 nonmetals, compared to 117 known elements.
Why non metals found in more compounds than metals?
Even though there are about five times more elements that are metals than nonmetals, there are more nonmetals than metals found in compounds. Nonmetals form many more compounds than metals because living organisms are composed almost entirely of nonmetals. There are more than 8.7 billion living organisms on Earth.
What is nonferrous?
Non Ferrous metals are those metals which do not contain iron.They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals.
Do metals or non metals have higher electronegativy?
In general, non metals are more electronegative
