Nonmetals and Metalloids

Nonmetals and Metalloids
2
Nonmetals are found
On the right of the zigzag and all over the
earth.
3
Physical Properties
They are not like metals. Theyre not malleable,
ductile, conductors, or magnetic.
4
Chemical Properties
Most nonmetals make compounds with other
elements easily, except Group 18.
5
Families of Nonmetals
Oxygen Group 16 contains Oxygen. Oxygen reacts
with almost every other element.
Nitrogen Group 15 has 5 valence electrons.
Nitrogen makes up 80 of our atmosphere.
Halogen Group 17 begins with Fluorine. Most of
them are dangerous to humans.
Hydrogen It is by itself because it is
so different from the other elements.
Noble Gases Group 18 does not mix with other
elements.
Carbon Group 14 is made up of metals and Carbon.
Carbon is in all life forms.
6
Metalloids are found
around the zigzag.

Semiconductors?
Semiconductors are materials that can conduct
electricity under some conditions.
