Chapter 8: Problem 7

Draw a rough sketch of a periodic table (no details are required). Indicate regions where metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are located.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The sketch of the periodic table would show three regions: metals (located on the left and the center, groups 1-12), nonmetals (on the right, groups 14-17), and metalloids (located between metals and non-metals).

Step by step solution

01

Sketch the Periodic Table

Start by drawing a generic grid for the periodic table. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has seven horizontal periods and eighteen vertical groups.
02

Indicate the Regions

The metals are located on the left and in the middle of the periodic table (Groups 1-12). Non-metals are located on the right of the periodic table (Group 14-17). Right between metals and non-metals, the metalloids, also known as semi-metals, are located.
03

Label the Regions

Lastly, label these regions clearly in your sketch, using different colors for metals, non-metals, and metalloids would make the sketch more understandable.
