- Nonmetals are located on the right side.
- Metalloids are situated along the staircase line separating metals and nonmetals.
Specifically, Groups 1 and 2 (alkali metals and alkaline earth metals) are on the far left. The transition metals occupy the central d-block. Therefore, the characteristic location for metals is the left side.
