Answer:
Metals are sometimes described as a lattice of positive ions surrounded by a cloud of delocalized electrons.
The metals are one of the three groups of elements as distinguished by their ionization and bonding properties, along with the metalloids and nonmetals.
On the periodic table, a diagonal line drawn from boron (B) to polonium (Po) separates the metals from the nonmetals.
Most elements on this line are metalloids, sometimes called semi-metals; elements to the lower left are metals; elements to the upper right are nonmetals.
