  2. Nonmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal

    [8] [9] There is no widely accepted precise definition; [10] any list of nonmetals is open to debate and revision. [1] The elements included depend on the properties regarded as most representative of nonmetallic or metallic character. Fourteen elements are almost always recognized as nonmetals: [1] [2]

  3. Nonmetallic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetallic_material

    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 conduction and the Fermi level. [ 25 ] : 154 The approach based upon the elements is often used in teaching to help students understand the periodic table of elements, [ 26 ...

  4. List of alternative nonmetal classes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alternative...

    Classes provided an economy of description and are beneficial to structuring knowledge and understanding of science. [1] The distinction between classes is not absolute. Boundary overlaps can occur as outlying elements in each class show or begin to show less-distinct, hybrid-like, or atypical properties. As expressed by Nelson: [2]

  5. 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 ...

  6. List of nonmetal monographs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nonmetal_monographs

    "In its chemical characters , antimony is closely allied to arsenic on the one hand, and to bismuth on the other; it constitutes, indeed, a connecting link between the metals and the non-metals." (p. 442) Roscoe HE & Schorlemmer C 1891, A Treatise on Chemistry, Vol. 1 The Nonmetallic Elements, D Appleton and Company, New York

  7. 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 ...

  8. Non-metallic inclusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-metallic_inclusions

    Non-metallic inclusions that arise because of different reactions during metal production are called natural or indigenous. They include oxides , sulfides , nitrides and phosphides . Apart from natural inclusions there are also parts of slag , refractories , material of a casting mould (the material the metal contacts during production) in the ...

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

    Silicon has a blue-grey metallic lustre. Silicon is a metallic-looking relatively unreactive solid with a density of 2.3290 g/cm 3, and is hard (MH 6.5) and brittle. It melts at 1414 °C (cf. steel ~1370 °C) and boils at 3265 °C. Silicon has a diamond cubic structure (CN 4). It is a non-conductive with a band gap of about 1.11 eV. [3]
