Metals have certain features which make them easy to recognize. They have a metallic luster, and they are very good conductors of electricity. They undergo chemical reactions in which they lose electrons. Non metals characteristically do not have a metallic luster, do not conduct electricity very well, and they undergo chemical reactions in which they gain electrons (or in the case of inert gases, they don't undergo any chemical reactions).
What else can I help you with?
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
How many non-metals are discovered so far?
There are currently 17 recognized non-metal elements in the periodic table. These elements lack the metallic properties of luster, malleability, and electrical conductivity. Some common non-metals include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
Where are the metals and non metals on the periodic table?
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
What are 3 main classes of elements and where are they located on the periodic table?
Non-metals, metals and semiconductors. Metals are on the left, non-metals on the right, and semiconductors sitting near the staircase line that divides the metals and non-metals.
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?

Which are better metals or non metals?
My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Where are the most reactive non metals?
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
Is Nobel gases metals or non metals or metalloids?
Non-metals, they are all gases.
Do metals or non metals have higher electronegativy?
In general, non metals are more electronegative
Are inert gases such as helium and neon classified as metals or non-metals?
Non-metals
What is a characteristic of nonmetal a?
One characteristic of non-metals is that they are generally gaseous at room temperature. Non-metals will also typically bond with metals easily.
