What else can I help you with?
Unlike metals solid nonmetals are?
Unlike metals, solid nonmetals are generally characterized by their brittleness and lack of electrical conductivity. They typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to metals and do not exhibit metallic luster. Nonmetals also tend to form covalent bonds rather than metallic bonds, resulting in distinct chemical properties and behaviors. Examples of solid nonmetals include sulfur and phosphorus.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
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.
How many of the elements shown are metals how many are non metals how many are metalloids?
To accurately answer your question, I would need to know which specific elements you are referring to. Generally, in the periodic table, metals are found on the left and center, nonmetals are on the right, and metalloids are along the zig-zag line separating metals and nonmetals. If you provide the names or symbols of the elements, I can help determine how many are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
What can non metals do that metals can't?
Nonmetals can form covalent bonds by sharing electrons, while metals typically form metallic bonds characterized by a sea of delocalized electrons. Nonmetals can also act as insulators, as they generally have higher electronegativities and ionization energies, making them less conductive compared to metals. Additionally, nonmetals can exist in various states—solid, liquid, and gas—at room temperature, unlike metals, which are primarily solids.
Which property is characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals?
Brittleness is a property that is characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals. Metals are typically malleable and ductile, able to be bent and stretched without breaking, whereas nonmetals are often brittle and prone to shattering when subjected to force.
What are many non-metals?
Many nonmetals are gases.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What is the most reactive group of a metals and nonmetals?
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
Does nonmetals are highly reactive while metals are completely nonreactive?
It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.
Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?
Yes, there are more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table. Nonmetals include elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, while metals include elements like iron, copper, and gold. The majority of elements on the periodic table are nonmetals.
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
What kind of bonds do metals and nonmetals form?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Elements can be classified as metals semi metals non metals?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
What is an element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
What have the qualities of both metals and nonmetals?
They are metals.
Do metaloids contain metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
