Question

for metalloids on the periodic table, how do the group number and the period number relate?
the lower the group number, the lower the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right.
the lower the group number, the higher the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving up from left to right.
the higher the group number, the lower the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right.
the higher the group number, the higher the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving up from left to right.

Explanation:

Metalloids on the periodic table are arranged such that as the group number decreases, the period number increases. They form a diagonal moving up from left - right. For example, Boron is in group 13 and period 2, while Silicon is in group 14 and period 3.

Answer:

The lower the group number, the higher the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving up from left to right.
