The nonmetals are found to the right of the staircase line on the modern periodic table. What are the physical characteristics of the non-metals?

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

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...

$"Ductility"$...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...

may be solid, liquid or gas at room temperature has lower melting point than metals has lower boiling point than metals non-lustrous - dull, not shiny poor conductors of...

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...
