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.

out of the 118 elements discovered so far, most of them are metals
What Elements on the left side of the table are classified as what type of elements?
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
What are the different types of elements on the Periodic table?
Metals and non-metals.
What group does the alkaline earth metals belong to?
The alkaline earth metals belong to group 2A elements. The alkali metals belong to group 1A elements. The halogens belong to group 7A elements. The noble gases belong to group 8A elements.
What are the elements in groups 3 through 12 called on the periodic table of elements?
generally groups 3-12 are called the transition metals.
What metals are elements?
All pure metals are chemical elements; alloys are not elements.
How many metals are there in the elements?
Nearly 100 of the elements are metals.
