Nonmetals are typically determined based on their position in the Periodic Table, specifically found on the right side, including groups 14 to 18. They are characterized by their lack of metallic luster, poor conductivity of heat and electricity, and often form covalent bonds with other nonmetals. Common examples include oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Their chemical properties, such as high ionization energies and electronegativities, further define them as nonmetals.

Which is an example of a nonmetal resource?
Sulfur is an example of a nonmetal resource. It is commonly used in the production of fertilizers, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
Is selenium a metal or a non metal?

How do oxidation numbers determine if an element is ametal or a nonmetal?
Oxidation numbers do not determine if an element is a metal or a nonmetal. The classification of an element as a metal or a nonmetal is based on its position in the periodic table and its physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table, while nonmetals are found on the right side.
Is f a metal or a nonmetal?
Without knowing the specific element f, it is difficult to determine if it is a metal or nonmetal. Some elements can exhibit properties of both depending on the conditions. Can you provide more information about element f for a more accurate answer?
Do electricians use metal or nonmetal for wiring?
Both; generally in residational appllications nometalic is used and in commercial metallic is used. NEC specifies where and when any can be used.
How can Lewis theory be used to determine the formula or ionic compounds?
"To use Lewis theory to determine the formula of an ionic compound, determine the number of valence electrons lost by the metal to form an octet, and the number of electrons gained by the nonmetal to form an octet." Refer the link below for further reading.
