In terms of non-metals, the electrons are held tightly by the nucleus. Therefore nonmetals are very unwilling to give their electrons away. Nonmetals don't donate electrons as easily as metals, so society and chemists from the early ages distinguished between metals and nonmetals, Regards, Mike
By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Between the metals and nonmetals is a group of elements known as either the semimetals or the metalloids. Here is a look at the location of these elements and their common properties.roperties of the Semimetals or Metalloids. The electronegativities and ionization energies of the metalloids are between those of the metals and nonmetals, so the metalloids exhibit characteristics of both classes.
