There are more metals available now than there was 200 years ago. This is because more metals have been harvested.
The reason is because of advancements and increased accuracy in technology. Other metals became more readily available overtime as it became possible to extract metals from their ores. These technologies were not available 200 years ago.

Why non metals found in more compounds than metals?
Even though there are about five times more elements that are metals than nonmetals, there are more nonmetals than metals found in compounds. Nonmetals form many more compounds than metals because living organisms are composed almost entirely of nonmetals. There are more than 8.7 billion living organisms on Earth.
Are nonmetals more electronegative than metals?
Yes, non-metals are more electronegative than metals. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and it is a nonmetal.
What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?
Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals
Are there more metalic elements or nonmetalic elements listed on the periodic table?
There are more metals than nonmetals on the periodic table. There are 18 nonmetals, compared to 117 known elements.
Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?
Yes. There are only about 20 nonmetals and only 7 metalloids. The rest of the elements are metals.

Yes, non-metals are more electronegative than metals. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and it is a nonmetal.
Are most elements on the periodic table nonmetals?
No, more than three-fourths of the elements are metals. Love, Grahamcracker
Are transition metals more reactive than alkali metals?
no
What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?
Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals
Are there more non-metal elements than metallic ones?
there are more metals than non-metals on the periodic table
Do alkali metals react slower or faster than alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Do yellow metals have more density than silver and gray metals?
no
Are there more metalic elements or nonmetalic elements listed on the periodic table?
There are more metals than nonmetals on the periodic table. There are 18 nonmetals, compared to 117 known elements.
Are metals most known elements?
yes metals are more common than non-metals
Would you expect nonmetals to have larger electron affinities than metals?
Yes. Non metals have larger electron affinity than metals as non metals accept electrons more easily than metals.
Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?
Yes. There are only about 20 nonmetals and only 7 metalloids. The rest of the elements are metals.
