A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, has a lustrous appearance, and conducts both electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile.


The periodic table on the left separates elements into three groups: the metals (green in the table), nonmetals (orange), and metalloids (blue). Most elements are metals.



In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks metallic attributes. Physically, nonmetals tend to have relatively low melting and boiling points, and densities, are mostly brittle.



A nonmetal is an element with a high electronegativity, meaning that it is good at attracting electrons in a bond. As a result of having high electronegativity, nonmetals have no free electrons, normally forms covalent bonds and reduces more than it oxidizes.
