Question

use the periodic table in the tools bar to answer the following questions. what elemental classification does oxygen belong to? nonmetal semimetal noble gas alkaline earth metal

Explanation:

Oxygen (O) is located on the right - hand side of the periodic table. Nonmetals are elements that lack the properties of metals, such as being poor conductors of heat and electricity, and having relatively low melting and boiling points. Oxygen is a gas at room temperature, is a poor conductor, and shows the typical properties of nonmetals. Semimetals have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals, noble gases are inert gases in Group 18, and alkaline earth metals are in Group 2 (metals). So oxygen is a nonmetal.

Answer:

nonmetal
