metalloids have properties of both metals and inner transition metals

All the transition metals except Zn, cd and Hg exhibit several physical and chemical properties. Some of their properties are discussed belo..

One can easily differentiate between metals and non-metals based on their placement on the Periodic Table of the Elements. The metals are elements (with the exception of hydrogen) that are found to the left of a group of elements referred to as the metalloid..

In metallic crystals the constituent particles are positive kernels i.e., nuclei where inner electrons are dispersed in a sea of mobile valence electrons. The forces present between the constituents are metallic bonds. The main characteristics of metallic cr..

All the elements belonging to I B, II B, III B, IV B, V B, VI B, VII B, VIII B are called transition elements. They resemble each other in several physical and chemical properties. They are all metals. They are called transition elements because they are pla..

Metallic hydrides are formed by most of the 'd' block elements (i.e., transition elements), on reacting with hydrogen. Hydrogen exists in the atomic rather than ionic form. Due to small size of hydrogen atoms when compared to the metal atoms, hydrogen atoms occupy int..

By the study if electronic configuration of transition metals it is understood that they generally contain one or more unpaired electrons in the (n-1)d orbital. Due to these unpaired electrons they behave as paramagnetic substances. These substances are attracted by the magneti..

All elements in the periodic table have been classified as metals and non-metals. The non-metals are placed on the right hand side of the periodic table. Non-metals are simple small molecules that are mostly gases. Elements between metals and non-..

Group 15 of the Periodic table includes five elements namely nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As) antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi). This group is regarded as nitrogen family. There is a transition from non-metallic to metallic character as we go down the group. Nit..

Group 15 Elements (Nitrogen Family) - Introduction - Group 15 of the Periodic table includes five elements namely nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As) antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi). This group is regarded as nitrogen family. There is a transition from non-metallic to ..
