"Mentals"? I think you mean "Metals". There are several useful properties in metals. Its hardness and density are useful in building and constructing. Its smooth nonporous surface is useful in many different ways, its flexibility and endurance are great for making earth quake proof buildings and bridges.Look at the San Francisco bridge. Exponentially, there are no limit to the useful properties of metal. All you have to do is look it up.
It is the dividing line between the elements considered to be metals and the ones considered to be non metals. Sometimes the elements along the line are referred to as metalloids
Aluminum, Gallium, Tin, Bismuth, and everything to their left (excluding Hydrogen) are metals. Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium are the metalloids. Carbon, Phosphorus, Selenium, Iodine, Astatine and everything to their right (including Hydrogen) are all nonmetals.
They are called Metalloids or "Semimetals".
They are found between the metals and non-metals

They are in between the metals and non metals
between metals
These elements are the metalloids: arsenic, silicon, germanium, tellurium, boron, antimony.
They are called Metalloids or "Semimetals".
The differences between metals and minerals include the fact that metals are atoms that are electropositive. Metals are also harder and stronger than most minerals.
metals and non-metals
Between the metals and nonmetal
The most malleable elements are the metals gold (number one) and aluminium.
metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
