Question

Which is the main type of element found in the upper right part of the periodic table? O A. Metals B. Representative metals O C. Nonmetals D. Metalloids​

Answer 1

Answer: The main type of elements found in the upper right part of the periodic table are the Nonmetals. The correct option is C.

Explanation:

The Periodic table of elements describes the properties of elements which varies in regular manner. Some of these chemical properties includes:

--> Ionisation energy

--> Atomic radii

--> Ionic radii

--> Electron affinity

--> electronegativity

--> metallic Character

--> Atomic volume

It organizes known elements based on these chemical properties. From the features of a Periodic table of elements, they occur in;

--> GROUPS(when similar elements are the arranged in numbered columns). These groups are the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens and noble gases.

--> PERIODS( when arranged in numbered rows).

Every element can either be classified as a metal, nonmetal or semi metal. NONMETALS are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They are clustered in the upper right-hand corner of the periodic table.
