Labeling Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids on the Periodic Table

The video tutorial explains how to label the periodic table by identifying different types of elements and their properties. It starts with metalloids, which are semiconductors, located around the staircase. Next, it covers non-metals, including hydrogen, which are dull, brittle, and insulators, found on the right side of the table. Finally, it describes metals, which are lustrous, malleable, and good conductors, occupying the majority of the periodic table.

Which elements are considered metalloids on the periodic table?

• Elements in the middle

• Elements on the left side

• Elements on the right side

• Elements around the staircase except aluminum

Where are non-metals located on the periodic table?

• On the right side

• In the middle

• Around the staircase

• On the left side

What is a key property of metals?

• They are brittle

• They have luster

• They are insulators

• They are dull
