I was jus wondering........I have read many chemistry books throughout my life and taken numerous chemistry classes...but i have yet to have heard another name for the zigzag line which separates metals from nonmetals...doesnt "zigzag line" sound a little "unscientific"? im sure there is another name for it and if anybody knows please reply on this thread....thnx
