What are the six elements that are not metals but have some properties of metals?

The six elements that are not metals but have some properties of metals are hydrogen, boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, and tellurium. These elements exhibit characteristics such as conductivity and metallic luster, but they do not display all the typical properties of metals.


What side of the periodic table is metalliods on?

Upper Right corner except group 18 (nobles)


Where are the metals in the periodic table found?

Metals are found on the left hand side on the Periodic Table (towards the left of the "staircase". The "staircase" line divides elements into metals and non-metals. Elements to the right of the "staircase" are the non-metals. However, those close to the staircase have both metallic and non-metallic properties and hence are called metalliods.


Do transitional metals conduct electricity?

Yes, transition metals are generally good conductors of electricity. This is due to their partially filled d-orbitals that allow for the movement of electrons, which makes them efficient in transferring electrical charges.


Is alkalin earth metals metalliods or nonmetals?

Alkaline earth metals are neither metalloids nor nonmetals; they are classified as metals. This group, which includes elements like magnesium and calcium, is characterized by their shiny appearance, good conductivity of heat and electricity, and the ability to lose two electrons to form positive ions. Unlike metalloids, which have properties of both metals and nonmetals, alkaline earth metals exhibit distinctly metallic properties.
