Which group in the periodic table contains only nonmetals?

The majority of is metals, with 7-8 semi-metals, and the rest are gases

And on the RHS of , the nuclear charge of the individual atoms should be high. Non-metals such as oxygen and fluorine should be potent oxidizing agents, and indeed they...

Period 1: H and He Period 2: C, N, O, F, Ne Period 3: P, S, Cl, Ar Period 4: Se, Br, Kr Period 5: I, Xe Period 6: Rn

It is a standing, if unfortunate joke amongst inorganic chemists that many senior fluorine chemists are missing eyes and fingers because of the extreme reactivity of this element.

Metals are shown in blue to the left of the zigzag. Non-metals are to the right, in green. All the in a group have similar properties. For example group one...

$"Ductility"$...the ability to be drawn out into a wire.... $"Conductivity"$ with respect to heat... $"Conductivity"$ with respect to an electrical current... All of these properties are conceived to arise from...

Most of are METALS. Of about the 118 elements currently known (and some of the heavier ones are probably figments of a spectroscopist's imagination!), only 26 are non-metals.

is organized in many ways! One of the ways is that metals are on the left and nonmetals on the right. are between . (Metals take up the left...

Nonmetals have relatively high electronegativity, so both atoms in the bond want to keep the electrons that are being shared between them. This creates a covalent bond. If one...

As we face , increases ACROSS the Period from LEFT to RIGHT, BUT DECREASES down a Group, a column of the the Periodic Table. So why? Well, we will first...
