metals Cs
metalloids Po
nont-metals Se

The scheme above is the simple periodic table (limited to the main groups I - VII)

the red zone: the non metals have the tendency to gain electrons and so become negatively charged (big electronegativity) the blue zone: the metals have a tendency to donate electrons and so become positive (small electronegativity)
