Step-by-step explanation:

How do the numbers of metal and non-metal elements compare? Estimate an approximate percentage difference. (learning about the periodic table if...

of 118 elements in the periodic table , 21 are non metals (even H has metallic properties when approching 0 degrees K)

this means there ar 21 nonmetals and 118-21=97 metals.
