The nonmetal elements occupy the upper right-hand corner of the periodic table. Nonmetals include the nonmetal group, the halogens, and the noble gases. These elements have similar chemical properties to each other that distinguish them from the elements that are considered metals. Groups of Nonmetals The nonmetal element group is […]
List of Nonmetals
The metalloids or semimetals are elements with properties intermediate between the metals and nonmetals. As a group, metalloids have at least one shiny, metallic-looking allotrope. Solids are brittle, with nonmetal chemical properties. While metalloids are neither good electrical nor thermal conductors, they make excellent semiconductors and form amphoteric oxides. Take […]
