Metals, Non metals, and Metalloids
Each one of these has chemical properties and physical properties. These three each have electrons and have a certain apperance. You can compare them by their luster, if their malleable, if they gain lose or share electrons, if they can conduct heat, solid, liquid or gas, if they are ductile, etc.
Properties
Physical properties- the physical properties are if its ductile, malleable, their luster, good or bad conductors of heat.
Chemical properties-gain, lose or share electrons,
Pictures of them and their physical and chemical properties
Metal
Gold and silver are a metal. Like any other metal gold and silver are ductile and malleable. Metals are also good conductors of electricity. They have a metallic or shiney luster. Metals tend to lose electrons
Non metal
Helium is a nonmetal... Non metals are not malleable nor ductile. They are poor conductors of electricity and don't have a luster, and they aren't usually solid. If they are they are brittle. Non metals tend to gain electrons
Metalliod
Silicon is a metalliod. Metalliods are malleable and ductile. They can be shiney or dull. They conduct electricity better then non metals but not as good as metals. They gain lose and share electrons. They are solids.
Periodic table
Metals, non metals, and metalliods are all components of the periodic table. Metals cover up the whole left side and most of the middle. It covers 75% of it. Non metals cover about 20% of the periodic table. The other 5% is the metalliods.
