hey,
metals are of 2 types; metallic and non-metallic
1)metallic substance attract to magnetic properties of other materials,
Pure metals tend to have a shine or luster.They are solid (with the exception of mercury, Hg, a liquid).They are shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat.They are ductile (they can be drawn into thin wires).They are malleable (they can be easily hammered into very thin sheets).All these metals tend to lose electrons easily.
2) Nonmetals have properties opposite those of the metals.non-metallic substances doesn't attract to magnetic properties of other materials,nonmetals tend to be dull in appearance. Nonmetals have properties opposite those of the metals.The nonmetals are brittle, not malleable or ductile, poor conductors of both heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions.
