ANSWER:

Solution 14QPStep 1 of 2:The goal of the problem is to identify the given element as a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid. * In the periodic table, the elements placed on the left of the row (period) are metals and elements placed on the right are nonmetals and it also contains noble gases. * Metalloids are the chemical elements that have properties both metals and nonmetals.* Metalloids are the elements that are found along the stair-step line that distinguishes metals from nonmetals.Below is the periodic table indicating, metals, nonmetals, and metalloids:
