Is gatorade a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?

Answer 1

As a physical mixture Gatorade would not be up for consideration to classify as any of these. We normally only classify ELEMENTS as metals, metalloids, and non-metals. It is mostly composed of water - which is composed of the non-metals hydrogen and oxygen, sugars - the molecules of which are made up of the non-metals hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (although carbon is occasionally classified as metalloid), and some salts of sodium and potassium - both metals, but bonded with chlorine, a non-metal, in the salts.

Answer 2

Gatorade is neither a metal, nonmetal, nor a metalloid. It is a liquid mixture of water, sugars, salts, and flavorings used to hydrate and replenish electrolytes in the body during physical activity.
