Most of the elements are one kind or another of metal. Metals are those substances which have metallic properties like conductivity, hardness, conductor of heat and current generally, posses some shearing strength, has some specific spring constant etc.
how ever there are exceptions of these properties.
In the field of astronomy, all elements other than the lightest two - Hydrogen & Helium - are called metals.
In chemistry the metals are often grouped together in different classes:
Alkali metals:
Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, Francium
Alkaline earth metals:
Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, Radium
Transition metals:
Zinc, Molybdenum, Cadmium, Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Yttrium, Zirconium, Niobium, Technetium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Silver, Hafnium, Tantalum, Tungsten, Rhenium, Osmium, Iridium, Platinum, Gold, Mercury, Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, Hassium, Copernicium.
Post-transition metals:
Aluminium, Gallium, Indium, Tin, Thallium, Lead, Bismuth
Lanthanides:
Lanthanum, Cerium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Promethium, Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium, Ytterbium, Lutetium
Actinides:
Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium Elements are not this strange.
Are elements as are several others
Steel is an example of combination metals loosely known as alloys.
Group 1 Elements (elements in the first group [column]) are classed as Alkali Metals. Group 2 Elements (elements in the second group [column]) are classed as Alkaline Earth Metals. All elements not in a representative group are classed as Transition Metals. Group 3 Elements (elements in the third full group [coulumn]) are classed as Earth Metals
Yes, metals constitute the largest number of elements on the periodic table. There are around 91 naturally occurring elements that are classified as metals, making them the most numerous group.
The elements in groups 3 through 12 on the periodic table are known as transition metals. These elements are characterized by their ability to form stable ions with partially filled d orbitals. They often exhibit multiple oxidation states and are known for their catalytic properties.
Elements that exhibit moderate electrical conductivity include metals like aluminum, zinc, and copper. These metals are not as conductive as metals such as silver or gold, but still allow for the flow of electrical current with some resistance.
out of the 118 elements discovered so far, most of them are metals

All pure metals are chemical elements; alloys are not elements.
The metals outnumber the non-metals by a good margin.

All metals are elements.
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.
All metals except alloys of metals are elements, but not all elements are metals.
Most elements on the periodic table are classified as metals, with only a few elements classified as non-metals.
No, more than three-fourths of the elements are metals. Love, Grahamcracker
There are three types of elements: metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. Most elements are metals.
Around about 16% of the elements are non-metals.
Most elements are metals.
