Periodic table question?

Question

Are Nonmetals located on the right side and at the center of the periodic table?

Answer 1

It's not THAT straightforward, although yes, that is a general trend. Metals generally lie to the left on the table, and nonmetals to the right.

HOWEVER, where the previous answerer falls short is that there are a number of metals and metaloids toward the center. If you notice on almost any rendition of the modern-day Periodic Table of the Elements, you see a jagged line / "staircase" going down and to the right across the table.
Metals are to the left of that "staircase" and nonmetals are to the right of that "staircase". As you go from left to right in a period, the elements lessen in metallic character, and increase in non-metallic character. Toward the middle, you see elements that have examples of BOTH nonmetal and metal characteristics.

Answer 2

The nonmetals appear where they are because of their grouping into Group IV, V, VI, VII and VIII based on the electrons in the p-orbitals. Also, the higher members of the groups tend to be more metallic than the lower members. So while we don't think of carbon, silicon and germanium as metals, the next member of Group IV is tin, which would qualify.
PS: Both atoms of the 1st level, H and He are non-metals also.
