  2. Nonmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal

    Radon is the most metallic of the noble gases and begins to show some cationic behavior, which is unusual for a nonmetal; [96] and; In extreme conditions, just over half of nonmetallic elements can form homopolyatomic cations. [o] Examples of nonmetal-like properties occurring in metals are:

  3. Nonmetallic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetallic_material

    The term nonmetal (chemistry) is also used for those elements which are not metallic in their normal ground state; compounds are sometimes excluded from consideration. Some textbooks use the term nonmetallic elements such as the Chemistry of the Non-Metals by Ralf Steudel , [ 25 ] : 4 which also uses the general definition in terms of ...

  4. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    The most stable form is the black allotrope, which is a metallic looking, brittle and relatively non-reactive semiconductor (unlike the white allotrope, which has a white or yellowish appearance, is pliable, highly reactive and a semiconductor). When assessing periodicity in the physical properties of the elements it needs to be borne in mind ...

  5. Properties of nonmetals (and metalloids) by group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_nonmetals...

    The solid form has a hexagonal crystalline structure and is soft and easily crushed. Hydrogen is an insulator in all of its forms. It has a high ionisation energy (1312.0 kJ/mol), moderate electron affinity (73 kJ/mol), and moderate electronegativity (2.2). Hydrogen is a poor oxidising agent (H 2 + 2e − → 2H – = –2.25 V at pH 0). Its ...

  6. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    Metallic character increases going down a group and from right to left across a period. Nonmetallic character increases going from the bottom left of the periodic table to the top right. The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869; he formulated the periodic law as a dependence ...

  7. Non-metallic inclusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-metallic_inclusions

    Inclusions are present in any steel to a greater or lesser extent according to the mixture and conditions of production. Usually the amount of non-metallic inclusions in steel is not higher than 0.1%. However, the number of inclusions in metal is very high because of their extremely small size. Non-metallic inclusions in steel are foreign ...

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  9. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

    118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC.A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z).
