Do the elements go from metals to nonmetals or nonmetals to metals?

Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.


Are the most reactive metals in the middle of the periodic table?

No, the most reactive metals are typically found on the left-hand side of the periodic table, in groups 1 and 2. These metals, such as alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, readily lose electrons to form positive ions.


On which side of the periodic table are metals located?

On the periodic table, the metals are on the right side. However, as you start out at the lowest level, the metals start all the way over to the right. The first two elements, Lithium and Beryllium, are metals. The third element, Boron, is not. As you go up the chart, more of the metals over to the left are metals. For example, in group 4, Carbon and Silicon are non-metals but as you go up, Tin is a metal. Non metals and metals can have the same number of electrons in the outer shell!


How does metals or nonmetals change as you go down group 0?

As you go down Group 0 (also known as the noble gases), both metals and nonmetals tend to become less reactive. The noble gases are already very stable and unreactive, and this reactivity decreases even further as you move down the group. Metals in Group 0, called alkali metals, also become more reactive as you go down the group, while nonmetals in Group 0, known as halogens, become less reactive.


Do the elements go from metals to nonmetal in the periodic table going from left to right?

Yes they do, with metaloids in between.

Where would you find the heavy metals on the periodic table?

The mass of an element increases as you go down the periodic table. The heaviest discovered (synthesized) metals are in the bottom row of the transition metals group.

How the melting temperature properties generally change as you go down the columns of the periodic table?

The melting temperature properties generally change as you go down the columns of the Periodic Table by decreasing for metals and increasing for non-metals.

What metal is alkali metal?

This is the first column in the Periodic Table. There are six metals that are "Alkali Metals" and six that are "Alkali Earth Metals". The Alkali metals are:LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCaesiumFranciumThese metals get more reactive as you go down the list...Hope I helped :D

What category of elements is the most common in the periodic table and where is that category found in the periodic table?

The transition metals are the most common, and are found in the middle (groups 3-12) of the periodic table.


What happens to the state of matters you go across the periodic table?

Across the period (left to right), the elements tend to change from solids (metals) to gases (non metals).


Column on a periodic table?

In the periodic table a column is the elements that go down the way.for exampleLiNaKRbCsFrThis is a column and called the Alkali metals. Group 1.A period is when it goes across.


Why do alkali metals become more reactive the farther you go down on the periodic table?

The ionization energy is lower down in the group.
