if you look at a periodic table, sodium appears on the left side in the group known as alkali metals, while sulfur appears on the right side in the group known as non-metals. The periodic table is arranged such that the more metallic elements are toward the left and the bottom, while the less metallic elements are toward the right and the top. A metal is a substance whose outer shell electrons are weakly held by the nucleus. Roughly speaking, the more electronegative an element is, the stronger the tendency of the element to hold onto electrons is, and the less metallic it is.
