- Many periodic tables along the right side of the table separate metals from nonmetals. The metals are to the left of the line (except for hydrogen, which is a nonmetal), the nonmetals are to the right of the line, and the elements immediately adjacent to the line are the metalloids.

Apr 16, 2019 · Physical Properties of Nonmetals. Physical State: Most of the non-metals exist in two of the three states of matter at room temperature: gases (oxygen) and solids (carbon). Only bromine exists as a liquid at room temperature. Non-Malleable and Ductile: Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets.

The characteristic properties of metals and nonmetals are quite distinct, as shown in the table below. Metalloids, straddling the metal-nonmetal border, are mostly distinct from either, but in a few properties resemble one or the other, as shown in the shading of the metalloid column below and summarized in the small table at the top of this ...

Most of the elements are metals. Metals include the alkali metal, alkaline earth, transition metal, basic metal, lanthanide, and actinide groups. These elements have metallic character, which means atoms easily lose electrons. Metals display the following properties: 1. Solid at room temperature (with the exception of mercury) 2. Usually shiny, wit...
Metalloids or semimetals possess some properties of metals and some of nonmetals. Metalloids typically have several forms or allotropes with very different properties. Characteristics of metalloids include: 1. Could be dull or shiny 2. Conduct heat and electricity, but not as well as metals 3. Good semiconductors 4. Usually malleable 5. Usually duc...
The nonmetals include the nonmetals element group, plus the halogens, and noble gases. Properties of nonmetals include: 1. Dull, not shiny 2. Poor conductor of heat 3. Poor conductor of electricity 4. Not malleable or ductile, usually brittle 5. Lower density (when compared to metals) 6. Lower melting point and boiling points (when compared to meta...
In this tutorial, you will learn about the properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids (semimetals) as well as examples of metal elements, and nonmetal elements.
The nonmetal elements are represented with the color blue, and they can be found on the right-hand side of the periodic table. The metalloid elements are represented with a yellow color, and they can be found in between the left- and right-hand sections of the periodic table.
