Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the layout of the periodic table, where elements are broadly categorized into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties.
Identify that metals are generally located on the left and center of the periodic table, while nonmetals are found on the right side.
Understand that the elements located between metals and nonmetals exhibit properties intermediate between the two groups; these are called metalloids.
Recognize that halogens and noble gases are specific groups of nonmetals, and alkali metals are a group of metals, so they do not fit the description of elements between metals and nonmetals.
Conclude that the category of elements located between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table is the metalloids.
