Recall the general layout of the periodic table, which is organized into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals based on their properties.
Understand that metals are typically found on the left and center of the periodic table, while nonmetals are located elsewhere.
Identify that nonmetals are primarily found on the right side of the periodic table, including groups such as the halogens (Group 17) and the noble gases (Group 18).
