Question

In the periodic table, where are non-metals located:

• A. Between groups IIA and IIA
• B. On the lower left hand side
• C. On the upper left hand side
• D. On the upper right hand side

Answer 1

The correct option is D

On the upper right hand side

We can remember the property of non-metals; they generally tend to gain electrons to attain octet configuration. So they will be close to noble gases which are at the right side end of the periodic table. Non-metals are located on the upper right side of the periodic table.
