How do you find metals and nonmetals on the periodic table?

Answer 1

Metals are on the left and nonmetals are on the right.

One of the many ways that the periodic table is arranged is with metals on the left and nonmetals on the right, with metalloids falling in between. (Metals take up the left and middle)

The periodic table is divided into two sections: metals, which are found on the left side and include groups 1 (alkali metals) through 12 (transition metals) and extending to the bottom, and nonmetals, which are found on the right side and include groups 13 through 18 (halogens and noble gases) and extending to the top. The elements that touch or are above the staircase line are usually classified as nonmetals, while elements that are below the line are typically metals.
