Yes, but only in the sense that since there are more than six, there have to be (at least) six. If you meant "are there EXACTLY six", then no.
Around about 16% of the elements are non-metals.
Most elements on the periodic table are classified as metals, with only a few elements classified as non-metals.
Non-metals.

No, all elements on the periodic table cannot be classified as metals or non-metals. The periodic table includes metals, non-metals, and metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non-metals. Elements are classified based on their physical and chemical properties, such as conductivity, reactivity, and appearance.
Metals are elements that are usually malleable, ductile, conductive of heat and electricty, and lusterous. Non metals are elements that do not exhibit these characteristics. Metaloids are elements with intermediate properties.
"Metallic" is not a metal. But elements that are metals, are metallic.
The stairstep pattern on the periodic table represents the division between metals (left of the staircase) and nonmetals (right of the staircase). It separates elements with significantly different properties, such as conductivity and reactivity. Elements along the staircase, known as metalloids, possess characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
Elements are usually classified as metals, non-metals, or metalloids.
All you have to do is look on your periodic table of elements. Metals are to the left and non-metals are to the right. This way we know group four are metals.
