Where are the most nonmetals located on the periodic table?
The nonmetals are located on the upper right side of the periodic table. Nonmetals are separated from metals by a line that cuts diagonally through the region of the periodic table containing elements with partially filled p orbitals. Hope this helps =)

To the right of the stair case Start with B and end with Po
Where are non-metals and metals located on the periodic table?
Sure thing. Check out the periodic table here: http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~pgore/PhysicalS... The purple elements are metalloids. Everything to the LEFT of the metalloids is a metal (possible exception: hydrogen. We'll talk about hydrogen in a minute). Everything to the RIGHT of the metalloids is a nonmetal. You can see that the great majority of the elements are metals. When proceeding from left to right across the table, elements become LESS metallic. When proceeding from top to bottom in a group, elements become MORE metallic. So elements become MORE metallic as you move left or down on the table, and LESS metallic as you move up or right. Hydrogen is an oddball element. In its most common form, it is a gas that has practically nothing in common with metals; however, at VERY low temperature and high pressure, hydrogen condenses into a liquid. Liquid hydrogen is much more metallic in nature than gaseous hydrogen, but you wouldn't encounter liquid hydrogen in your everyday existence. Therefore, although hydrogen POTENTIALLY is a metal, treat it as a nonmetal in most cases. I hope that helps. Good luck!
Where are metals located on the periodic table?
its very simple they are located on left side of metalliod stair cases inother words they are located on left side of periodic table.

What are the non-metals in periodic table?
Non-metals are elements which usually receive electrons ( 1, 2 or 3) in order to complete their outermost shell.In chemistry, a nonmetal (or non-metal) is a chemical element that mostly lacks metallic attributes. Physically, nonmetals tend to be highly volatile (easily vaporized), have low elasticity, and are good insulators of heat and electricity; chemically, they tend to have high ionization energy and electronegativity values, and gain or share electrons when they react with other elements or compounds. Seventeen elements are generally classified as nonmetals. They are as follows:-hydrogenheliumnitrogenoxygenfluorineneonchlorineargonkryptonxenonradonbrominecarbonphosphorussulphurseleniumiodine
Where on the periodic table are the metals, nonmetals, and metalloids located?
metals on the left, nonmetals in the middle and the other group at the right. metals: heat and cool quickly,are attracted my magnets,are mostly solids. non metals: are usually liquids, arnt attracted my magnets noble gases: can change their form
Where are the Solids located on the periodic table?
I have my students memorize the elements that are gases and liquids. Everything else is a solid at standard temperature. Gases: H, N, O, F, Cl, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn Liquids: Br, Hg Solids: Everything else =========== Follow up ============= I agree that all the metals are solids (except for Hg), but there are also many nonmetals which are solids. I think it is simply easier to eliminate the gases and liquids to find the solids. ========== More follow up =========== Just a bit on terminology. ALL of the INTERMOLECULAR attractions ARE van der Waals forces. The entire collection of intermolecular forces are together known as Van der Waals forces. Ionic, covalent and metallic bonds involve INTRAMOLECULAR forces. I think Roland is referring to London dispersion forces. London dispersion forces are but one of all of the various van der Waals forces. Wikipedia concurs with my take on the use of the term "van der Waals". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waa...
What is the number of nonmetals in the periodic table?
There is no widely agreed answer because there is no widely agreed definition of a metal, a metalloid, or a nonmetal.Elements commonly recognised as nonmetals are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and the six noble gases (17).The elements commonly recognised as metalloids namely boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium have predominately nonmetallic chemistries, so you could count them as nonmetals too. (6)Astatine, a halogen, has been predicted to have a metallic band structure so it can be set aside. The status of oganesson is currently not known.So, it would be fair to say there are from 17 to 23 nonmetals, depending on your definition of a nonmetal.
