Multiple Choice Question
According to the figure above, the elements shown in green are described as _____________ .
A.
metals
B.
nonmetals
C.
noble gases
D.
metalloids

Answer 1

I can't see the figure you mean — could you upload it or describe which part of the table is green (e.g., left side, right side, the jagged “staircase” between metals and nonmetals, or the far right column)?

Quick help in the meantime:
- If the green elements are along the jagged diagonal staircase between metals and nonmetals → D. metalloids.
- If they are on the left side of the table → A. metals.
- If they are on the far right column (Group 18) → C. noble gases.
- If they are on the upper right (excluding the noble gases) → B. nonmetals.
