  2. Nonmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal

    Unless otherwise noted, this article describes the stable form of an element at standard temperature and pressure (STP). [b]While arsenic (here sealed in a container to prevent tarnishing) has a shiny appearance and is a reasonable conductor of heat and electricity, it is soft and brittle and its chemistry is predominately nonmetallic.

  3. Nonmetallic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetallic_material

    An alternative in metallurgy is to consider various malleable alloys such as steel, aluminium alloys and similar as metals, and other materials as nonmetals; [20] fabricating metals is termed metalworking, [21] but there is no corresponding term for nonmetals. A loose definition such as this is often the common usage, but can also be inaccurate.

  4. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

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

    The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties.All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.

  5. List of nonmetal monographs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nonmetal_monographs

    Twenty-two nonmetals including B, Si, Ge, As and Te. Tin and antimony are shown as being intermediate between metals and nonmetals; they are later shown as either metals or nonmetals. Astatine is counted as a metal. Emsley J 1971, The Inorganic Chemistry of the Non-metals, Methuen Educational, London, ISBN 978-0-423-86120-4. Twenty nonmetals.

  6. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    Periodic table of the chemical elements showing the most or more commonly named sets of elements (in periodic tables), and a traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The f-block actually fits between groups 2 and 3 ; it is usually shown at the foot of the table to save horizontal space.

  7. Metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal

    The general science of metals is called metallurgy, a subtopic of materials science; aspects of the electronic and thermal properties are also within the scope of condensed matter physics and solid-state chemistry, it is a multidisciplinary topic.

  8. Nonmetal (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal_(disambiguation)

    Nonmetal may refer to: Nonmetals in the periodic table or non-metallic elements, are elements that have high electronegativity and mostly lack distinctive metallic properties. Nonmetal, in astronomy, the two elements hydrogen and helium without metallicity .

    In the solid state, nonmetals are brittle , meaning that they will shatter if struck with a hammer. The solids are not lustrous. Melting points are generally much lower than those of metals." Sign language: "Definition: The non-metals are elements on the right of the periodic table. Non-metals can be gases, liquids or solids.
