To find out if a element is a metal or non-metal you can connect it to wires, a battery and a light bulb and see if the light bulb lights up. If it doesn't light up you have a non-metal but if it does you have a metal ( unless you have carbon in the form of graphite, in that case it will light up but it is in fact a non-metals) i hope this solves you questions.
