Classification of Elements

✏ The elements are divided in 3 parts they are :-

  1. Metals
  2. Non-metals
  3. Metalloids

-----------------------------------------

☞ What are Metals ?

  • 78% of known elements are metals.
  • They take up the left side of the Periodic Table.
  • At room temperature, they are usually solids (except mercury).
  • They usually have high boiling and melting points.
  • They are shiny having metallic lustre.

☞ What are Non-metals ?

  • They occupy the right-hand side of the Periodic Table.
  • Most non-metals are brittle and are not malleable or ductile.
  • At room temperature, they are usually solids or gases.
  • They usually have low boiling and melting points (except carbon and boron).
  • They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

☞ What are Metalloids ?

  • Metalloids exhibit some properties of metals as well as of non-metals. 
  • They may have a metallic or dull appearance.
  • They are usually brittle and are fair conductors of electricity.
  • They may gain or lose electrons during chemical reactions.
  • They form alloys with metals.
