Explanation:
Metals and non-metals can be identified either by their position in the periodic table or by their properties.
he metal elements are found on the left hand side of the periodic table, and the non-metal elements are found on the right. You can imagine a zig-zag line, starting at B-Al-Si, separating metals from non-metals.
The term referring to that region would be "orbital".
Answer:
No
Explanation:
We cannot identify an atom without knowing numbers of protons in the atom.
The number of neutrons is the amount of neutrally charged particles in an atom. These subatomic particles occupy the dense nucleus with the protons.
- To determine an atom, we use their atomic numbers.
- Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.
- Protons are the positively charged particles in the atom.
- The periodic table of elements is arranged by the atomic number of an element.
