carbon is an element unto itself on the pieriodic table.
Nonmetals. These elements typically have properties such as poor conductivity, low melting points, and brittle structure. They are located on the right side of the periodic table.
Some are solids like carbon, phosphorus, sulphur etc Some are gases like helium, neon, argon etc. Bromine is the only liquid non metal
A metalloid is an element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals. These elements are typically semiconductors and have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Examples of metalloids include silicon, arsenic, and germanium.
Yes, carbon exhibits properties of both metals and nonmetals. In its graphite form, it exhibits metallic conductivity and can conduct electricity, akin to metals. However, in its diamond form, it displays nonmetallic properties, such as being a poor conductor of electricity and having high hardness. This duality allows carbon to be categorized as a metalloid in some contexts, depending on its allotrope.
Metals are iron, platinum, beryllium, uranium, sodium etc. Nonmetals are sulfur, oxygen, neon, carbon, chlorine etc.
nonmetals
Antimony, germanium
metalloid. It has properties of metals and nonmetals.
An element with no properties of a metal is called a nonmetal. Nonmetals generally have low melting points, poor conductivity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Examples include sulfur, carbon, and oxygen.
Iron. Iron is a metal while the others are nonmetals
Carbon?
Nonmetals. These elements typically have properties such as poor conductivity, low melting points, and brittle structure. They are located on the right side of the periodic table.
Boron is the only semi-metal (metalloid) in period 2.
Metalloids
Carbon is the only non-metal in carbon family. The other elements are either metalloids or metals.
Yes, silicon is a metalloid and possesses properties of both metals and nonmetals. It can conduct electricity like a metal but also acts as a semiconductor, like a nonmetal, in certain conditions. Silicon's properties are intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals.
Some are solids like carbon, phosphorus, sulphur etc Some are gases like helium, neon, argon etc. Bromine is the only liquid non metal
