Where on the periodic table are most of the metals found?
AOn the left side
BOn the right side
CAlong the top row
DIn the bottom row
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. On the left side
1. Elements are placed so that ones with similar properties sit together.
2. The elements on the left and middle are shiny, hard metals.
3. The elements on the right are dull or coloured, and many are gases.
4. So most metals are found on the left side of the table.
