To Classify: Metals, non-metals, and metalloids of given elements; K, Si, and S.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The elements that form positive ions by loss of electrons during the
The elements that gain electrons during the chemical reaction are known as Non-metals.
The elements having the properties of metals and non-metals are known as metalloids.
In periodic table, there is a zig-zag line which separates metals and non-metals. The elements which lie on this line are metalloids. The metals are placed on the left side of the diagonal line (left side in the table) and except hydrogen, non-metals are placed on the right of this diagonal line (right side in the table).
K − Potassium − Metal
Si − Silicon − Metalloid
S − Sulphur − Non-metal
Conclusion:
The periodic table provides the data of metals, non-metals, and metalloids with their specific position in the table.
