If you're talking about categorisation that broad, then there are two categories:
Metals
Non-metals
No, not all metals are considered to be elements. Brass for example is a combination of elements but is not an element itself.
The organization of the elements (metals, non-metals, and semi-metals) which is known as the Periodic Table Of Elements.
The vast majority of elements in the periodic table can be classified as metals. Metals make up the s-block, d-block, and f-block of the periodic table. There are even a few elements in the p-block with metallic properties called metalloids.
The "borderline" elements on the periodic table are the diagonal row of elements that separates the metals from the non-metals. They are called metalloids and the amphoteric line.
There are 117 known elements (up to 118 excluding 117 which has not been created as of yet). 17 are non-metals: H, He, C, N, O, F, Ne, P, S, Cl, Ar, Se, Br, Kr, I, Xe, and Rn 9 are metalloids: B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At, Uuo* The remaining 91 are metals. *Ununoctium, Uuo, is predicted to be a metalloid but there is no experimental verification of this.There are 117 known elements (up to 118 excluding 117 which has not been created as of yet).
They are metals.
3 quarters of the 90 naturally occurring elements are called metals.
All pure metals are chemical elements; alloys are not elements.
Nearly 100 of the elements are metals.
No, more than three-fourths of the elements are metals. Love, Grahamcracker
Elements are classified as metals, metalloids and nonmetals.
The metals outnumber the non-metals by a good margin.
Im pretty sure that there are more transition metals than metals or metalloids Logically, though, it is impossible for there to be more transition metals than metals! The latest IUPAC periodic table recognises 114 elements. Borders are a little blurred but there are about 18 non-metals, about 6 metalloids, and about 90 metals. Of the ~90 metals, 38 are transition metals, 30 are lanthanoids and actinoids, and the remaining ~22 are "main group" metals. On this basis of classification, transition metals are the largest single group

metals
All metals except alloys of metals are elements, but not all elements are metals.
