Metals and non-metals combine through a sort of extreme electron sharing called ionic bonding. In ionic bonds, the metal atom is said to lose one or more of its electrons and give it to the nonmetal.
A metal that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent is said to be malleable. This is one of the main properties of metals.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
take a magnet and place it near a magnet, if it attracts then is said to be know as a MAGNET
Whether an element is a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal. Elements around the zig zag are semimetals Elements to the left of the zig zag (and the majority of elements) are metals Elements on the right of the zig zag are nonmetals
they can be hammered or rolled into shapes
cause i said so
plastic are insulators because metals are the only conductors.Any other materials which is not classified as metals are said to be insulator
The metal is said to be ductile.
As well as other metals lots of precious metals can be found in asteroids, such as: gold, platinum and diamond. There are others as well but i dont know what they are. xx hope this helped (probably not i only said the precious metals!! but i only know the precious metals ...) :)
The key is the difference in electronegatity. Metals generally have low electronegativivies and non- metals high. Note that this is generalisation he question said unlikely- it did not say never. group 1 metals are the "safest" bets for being pure ionic.Group 2 are pretty safe.

i dunno but i no steel is a mixture of metals. Only iron colbolt and Nickel are metal. Steel is but like i said that is a mixture of all metals. Hoped i helped. god bless xx
the term native state refers to metals which are found chemically uncombined in nature
