What are 4 physical properties that distinguish metals from nonmetals of the Periodic Table?

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

Different combinations of atoms have different physical properties. For instance, when iron rusts, its melting point lowers.

Group VIIA is the only group in periodic table in which all the are nonmetals. This group contains F, Cl, Br, I and At. The other name of this group...

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...

A metalloid is an element whose properties are "in between" those of . For example, metals are excellent electothermal conductors, and nonmetals are non-conductors. Metalloids are described as semiconductors....

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...

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...

The solid non metals are amorphous. Unlike metals the non metal solid do not usually form a regular crystal shape. The solid non metals are generally soft and easily broken...

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...

The metalloids are along the "staircase" on the right hand side of of . They can either lose an electron or share an electron when it combines with other elements....
