What else can I help you with?
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
What elements are used in computers because they have properties of both metals and non metals?
Metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are used in computers because they have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals, but also have some properties of nonmetals, making them ideal for use in semiconductors and other electronic components.
Why are metalloids difficult to classify?
Metalloids have properties that are in between those of metals and non-metals, making their classification difficult. They exhibit both metallic and non-metallic properties such as conductivity and brittleness, which can vary depending on the specific element and conditions. This dual nature makes it challenging to categorize them definitively as either metals or non-metals.
What touch the staircase in the periodic table and have properties of both metals and non-metals?
Metalloids, such as boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium, touch the staircase in the periodic table. Metalloids exhibit properties of both metals and non-metals, making them semi-conductors.
Why do non metals gain electrons from metals?
Non-metals gain electrons from metals because non-metals have a higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger pull on electrons. Metals tend to lose electrons easily due to their low electronegativity, making them more likely to transfer electrons to non-metals in ionic bonding to achieve stable electron configurations.
Is germanium a non metal or metal or metalloid?
Germanium is a metalloid. It exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals, making it a semiconductor commonly used in electronic devices.
Which non-metals is used in making pencil lead?
They are mostly made of graphite which is a stable form of carbon :)
Can homogeneity be used to distinguish metals from non metals?
No, it can not be used. Every element has colour homogeneity.
Can list non ferrous metal?
Non-ferrous metals include aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, brass, and titanium. These metals do not contain iron, making them resistant to rust and corrosion. They are commonly used in industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace.
Could a magnet be used to sort six different materials into metals and non metals?
No, some metals (Aluminum and Gold, etc.) are non-magnetic.
Can homogenity be used to distinguish metals from non metals?
No. Every element is homogeneous.
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals
Are noble gases non metals or metals?
non metals
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Why is it easier to remove electrons from metals than non metals?
Metals have fewer protons in their nucleus compared to nonmetals, meaning their electrons are held less tightly by the positively charged nucleus. This results in lower ionization energies for metals, making it easier to remove electrons from them compared to nonmetals. Additionally, metals tend to have more outer electrons which are further away from the nucleus, making them easier to remove.
Why are bells not made of non metals?
Metals have the property of producing a ringing sound when struck. Therefore, metals are sonorous and have the property of "Sonority". Non-metals however, are not sonorous and hence are not used in bells. :D
