Metals and non-metals:
Metals have many properties like they are lusterous and are hard. They are also very good conductors of heat and electricity. They are most of the time magnetic also. But this is not for every metal for-example Lithium is soft.
Examples of metals:
Cobalt, iron, copper, plutonium....
Non-metals also have many properties as well. Their properties are pretty much the opposite of metals. They are poor conductors.
Examples of non-metals:
Oxygen, hydrogen, neon.......
Any other questions just type them out and I'll be here.
What are properties of the Metalloids?
Are non-meatals with metallic properties, or metals with out metallic properties.
If you go on this website: http://www.chem.uwec.edu/Chem150_S07/elaborations/unit1/unit-1b-octet-rule/fig2-6.png you will see the Periodic Table of elements, the black line shows metals and non-metals (right non-metals also green) the purple are metalloids.

Metals: iron, gold, zinc, uranium, beryllium, etc. Non metals: sulphur, carbon, oxygen, helium, radon, etc. Metalloids: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium.
On the periodic table, some examples of metals are iron, aluminum, and platinum. Examples of a non-metal are nitrogen, and fluorine, and some metalloids are arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.

About eighteen elements are considered 'nonmetals'. Please see the link for details.
Another six are commonly considered 'metalloids'. Please see the link for those details.

Metaloids are elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
because of the massive amounts of metals and the not-so-effecient matter of small metaloids, certainley metals are the most high numbered, concluding that the metaloids are the least in numbers. You can figure this out by looking at the table in your 7th grade Chemical Bonding Book.
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
If you are referring to the periodic table, then metals and non-metals, though if that is the case I should remind you that metalloids are also a category. Though if you were asking more broadly about molecules, as this category would suggest, you're probably looking for organic and inorganic.
All gases and liquid elements are non metals .For metaloids see periodic table .
The 3 main categories are Metal, Nonmetals and Metalloids
Noble GasesMetalsNon-Metals
Metaloids
Nonmetals
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
metaloids
Metals are elements that are usually malleable, ductile, conductive of heat and electricty, and lusterous. Non metals are elements that do not exhibit these characteristics. Metaloids are elements with intermediate properties.
Metaloids are elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
The three classes of periodic elements are:Metals,that usually tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.Semi-metals or MetalloidsNon-metals,that usually tend to accept electrons to become negative ions.
metals, non-metals, and metaloids
Metals, nonmetals and noble gases.Gases, liquids and solids.
These elements are usually called the "metaloids" or "semi-metals."
