Most elements on the table are metals. However, the nonmetals are located on the right side of the table. You need to start with a color-coded Periodic Table; this will show you metals,nonmetals, and metalloids.

∙ 10y agoMetals and non metals have different chemical properties.
Nonmetals are brittle, have a dull luster, are poor conductors of electricity and heat, and are not usually as dense as metals.
Metals are ductile, conductive, shiny, and dense.
