Question

label the 3 categories of the periodic table.

Explanation:

• Metals: Most elements in the periodic table are metals. They are typically good conductors of heat and electricity, have metallic luster, and are malleable and ductile. In the given diagram, the large blue - colored section represents metals.
• Metalloids: Metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and non - metals. They are located in a diagonal region (the pink - colored section in the diagram) between metals and non - metals.
• Non - metals: Non - metals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. They can be gases, liquids, or solids at room temperature. The green - colored section in the diagram represents non - metals.

Answer:

• The large blue section: Metals
• The pink section: Metalloids
• The green section: Non - metals
