Some elements are metals; others are not. You are familiar with the general physical properties of common metals such as iron, copper, silver and gold. The other metallic elements are those that have similar physical or chemical properties.
There are also some other elements that are similar enough, such as antimony, that they considered to be metals by some people.
Metals are typically at least somewhat hard, shiny, able to be pressed or hammered into shape without breaking or cracking (unlike glass, for example) and good conductors of electricity and heat.

How do most periodic tables differentiate between metals and nonmetals?
Most periodic tables differentiate between metals and nonmetals by placing the metals on the left and in the middle of the table, and the nonmetals on the right. The dividing line between metals and nonmetals is often marked by a zigzag line that separates the two categories, with elements to the left being metals and elements to the right being nonmetals.
Most elements are what?
metals
What metals are elements?
All pure metals are chemical elements; alloys are not elements.
Are most elements metallic or nonmetallic?
The metals outnumber the non-metals by a good margin.
How did alkaline earth metals get their names?
Alkaline earth metals were named "earth" to differentiate them from alkali metals, which were known to form alkaline solutions when reacting with water. The term "alkaline" was added to indicate they were compounds with a high pH.
75 percent of the elements on the periodic table are what?
Most of the elements in the periodic table of elements are metals. Also, most of them are made by nature. Elements with the atomic number of 1-91 are made by nature. Elements with the atomic number of 92-118 are man-made.
Is an element a characteristic of metal?
All metals except alloys of metals are elements, but not all elements are metals.
Are most elements on the periodic table classified as metals or non-metals?
Most elements on the periodic table are classified as metals, with only a few elements classified as non-metals.
What elements are used in metals?

What are not metals?
All metals are elements.
Are most elements on the periodic table nonmetals?
No, more than three-fourths of the elements are metals. Love, Grahamcracker
What are two groups of elements?
There are three types of elements: metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. Most elements are metals.
