Answer 1

Dear user !!

The elements can be normally divided as follows >>

(1) Metals : They are ductile and malleable. They are good conductors
                     of heat and electricity.

(2) Non metals : They are bad conductors of heat and electricity and are
                             not malleable and ductile.

(3) Metalloids : They have properties of both metals and non metals.

Hope it helps you !!
