  2. 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.

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

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

    Nonmetals show more variability in their properties than do metals. [1] Metalloids are included here since they behave predominately as chemically weak nonmetals.. Physically, they nearly all exist as diatomic or monatomic gases, or polyatomic solids having more substantial (open-packed) forms and relatively small atomic radii, unlike metals, which are nearly all solid and close-packed, and ...

  4. Metalloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalloid

    A metalloid is a chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals.The word metalloid comes from the Latin metallum ("metal") and the Greek oeides ("resembling in form or appearance"). [1]

  5. Nonmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal

    [202] [203] The idea of designating elements like arsenic as metalloids had been considered. [199] By as early as 1866, some authors began preferring the term "nonmetal" over "metalloid" to describe nonmetallic elements. [204] In 1875, Kemshead [205] observed that elements were categorized into two groups: non-metals (or metalloids) and metals ...

  6. List of alternative nonmetal classes - Wikipedia

    This results in six or seven sets of nonmetals, depending on the treatment of boron, which in some cases is regarded as a metalloid. The size of the group 14 set, and the sets of nonmetal pnictogens, chalcogens, and halogens will vary depending on how silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, selenium, tellurium, and astatine are treated.

    At its most basic level, my understanding from talking with Wright is that zodiac sign incompatibility typically arises from differences in elements (fire, earth, air, and water) and the signs ...

  9. Lists of metalloids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_metalloids

    The elements commonly classified as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. [n 4] The status of polonium and astatine is not settled. Most authors recognise one or the other, or both, as metalloids; Herman, Hoffmann and Ashcroft, on the basis of relativistic modelling, predict astatine will be a monatomic metal.
