As you move from left to right on the Periodic Table of Elements, the elements go from shiny to less shiny. They go from solids to gases. They also become less likely to conduct electricity as you move to the right. In which order are you most likely to encounter the element types as you move across the Periodic Table?
You will encounter metals first, then metalloids, and then nonmetals.
Which elements are comprised of atoms?
Metals, Non-metals, and metalloids! All elements are comprised of atoms!
Name 3 metalloids off the periodic table
