Metals
1 they allow electricity and heat to pass through them easily
2 they are all solids in room temperatures exept for Mercury , and most of them have high melting points.
3 nost of them can be hammed into different shapes
non metals
1 they are poor conductorsof electriity and heat
2 they usually have low melting points
3 when solid non-metals are hammed, they break up-they are brittle.

What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Where are the metals and non metals on the periodic table?
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
What are the names of the major categories of elements on the periodic table?
metals, non metals, metaloids
What are 3 main classes of elements and where are they located on the periodic table?
Non-metals, metals and semiconductors. Metals are on the left, non-metals on the right, and semiconductors sitting near the staircase line that divides the metals and non-metals.
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals
Classes of elements?
Metals, non metals and metaloids (which have some of the properties of both metals and non metals).
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
Are noble gases non metals or metals?
non metals
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Are tent poles made out of non metals or metals?
non metals
Which are better metals or non metals?
My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
Where are the most reactive non metals?
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
Are inert gases such as helium and neon classified as metals or non-metals?
Non-metals
Are non metals semiconductors?
Metals are conductors. Semiconductors are usually non-metals or metalloids.
Is Nobel gases metals or non metals or metalloids?
Non-metals, they are all gases.
