Metals, on the left hand side of the Periodic Table, have few electrons in the outer shell. This lends itself to what is called metallic bonding in which many atoms of the elements share their outer electrons in a delocalised cloud which makes a hard structure which conducts electricity. Non-metals have outer electron shells which are nearly full. This means that small numbers of atoms bond covalently to form small molecules which usually are gases.

An element can be classified as a metal, nonmetal or metalloid. The "staircase" on the periodic table differentiates between these. Firstly, a metal is on the left side of the staircase. The metalloids line on either side of the staircase and contain both metal and nonmetal properties. Non- metals are on the right side of the staircase.
