1 label the various categories on the periodic table of elements. poor metals transition metals noble gases alkali metals semimetals

Explanation:

Poor metals are located towards the right - side of the periodic table, below the metalloids. Transition metals are in the middle of the periodic table (groups 3 - 12). Noble gases are in group 18 on the far right. Alkali metals are in group 1 on the far left. Semimetals (metalloids) form a diagonal - like region between metals and non - metals.

Answer:

Poor metals: elements to the right of metalloids below them.
Transition metals: groups 3 - 12.
Noble gases: group 18.
Alkali metals: group 1.
Semimetals: diagonal region between metals and non - metals.
