Explain how you would determine the charge of a metal, a non metal and a transition metal for an ion within a compound. Be prepared to provide the charge of an element on the periodic table from each of these categories.

Non metal is an element or substance that is not a metal metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivitymetalloid is an element (e.g., germanium or silicon) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals. they are electrical semiconductors.
