24.1 General Properties of Nonmetals
• Properties of nonmetals - more varied than those of metals
• Physical state– Gases: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine,
chlorine, and the noble gases– Liquid : bromine– Solids: All the remaining nonmetals
• Poor conductors of heat and electricity• Exhibit either positive or negative oxidation
numbers.
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009 3
• Metalloids - small group of elements have properties characteristic of both metals and nonmetals.
• More electronegative than metals• Electronegativity increases from left to right
across any period and from bottom to top in any group in the periodic table
• With the exception of hydrogen, the nonmetals are concentrated in the upper right-hand corner of the periodic table
• Compounds formed by a combination of metals with nonmetals tend to be ionic, having a metallic cation and a nonmetallic anion.
