☞ 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.

☞ Types of Metals

There are three main types of metals :-

1. Ferrous metals
