Metals tend to be lustrous, ductile, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
Calcium shares the most characteristics with magnesium.Both belongs to 2nd group of alkaline earth metals.
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
Metals (and also transition metals are considered even though they aren't in specific families, they are the same as any other metal, nothing special.)
Alloy is the name for at least two different metals melted and blended together. Most of the metals we use are alloys, as their characteristics are usually better than the base metals.
All metals are solids except mercury. They inhibit properties of ductility , malleability and conductivity. Ductility is an ability of a metal under tensile stress. Malleability is an ability to convert metals into a sheet like structure. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. i.e. electricity can easily pass through them.
one of the most common metals.

Non-metals.
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
metalaoids have both the characteristics of metals and non metals. ex:-boron,germanyum.
It's called a metalloid. The two most common metalloids are silicon (Si) and boron (B).
They are malleable.
They are highly- reactive metals
