Non-metals:
To the right on the periodic table
Properties of non-metals vary a lot more than properties of metals
Many are gases at room temperature
Bromine is a liquid
If it is solid:
dull appearance
CANNOT be pounded or shaped into a wire
Poor conductors of heat
Poor conductor of electricity
Metals:
Most elements are metals (left side of periodic table)
Conducts electricity well
Conducts heat well
Shiny in appearance
CAN BE SHAPED (pounded, bent or drawn into wire)
Solids at room temp (except mercury-liquid)
Metalloids:




Have properties of both METALS and NON METALS
On either side of zigzag line on periodic table
Silicon is the most common-(2nd most common in Earth’s crust)
Used in semiconductors – sometimes conducts electricity
