Properties of a non metal? METAL NONMETAL  HardSoft  ShinyDull  StrongWeak, brittle  ConductiveNot conductive  MalleableNot malleable  Ductile Not ductile

Chemical bonds Nonmetals can form bonds with either metals or nonmetals.

Hydrogen  Hydrogen is alone in the upper left corner of the periodic table because it is so different from the other elements.

Hydrogen  Hydrogen is alone in the upper left corner of the periodic table because it is so different from the other elements.  It contains only one proton and one electron (no neutrons)

Hydrogen  Hydrogen is alone in the upper left corner of the periodic table because it is so different from the other elements.  It contains only one proton and one electron (no neutrons)  Hydrogen makes up more than 90% of the atoms in the universe.

Hydrogen  Hydrogen is alone in the upper left corner of the periodic table because it is so different from the other elements.  It contains only one proton and one electron (no neutrons)  Hydrogen makes up more than 90% of the atoms in the universe.  It is rarely found as an element. Most of it is combined with oxygen as water.

Metalloids  They have some characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals.

Metalloids  They have some characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals.  The most common metalloid is silicon, which combines with oxygen to form sand, glass and cement.
