The fundamental difference between metals and nonmetals is that metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, and nonmetals tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions (not including the noble gases which are also a type of nonmetal and which are not reactive). In terms of physical properties, metals have a distinctive metallic appearance, shiny and silvery; they are good electrical conductors, they are flexible (although it is possible to formulate less flexible alloys) and usually solid, except for Mercury which is liquid. Nonmetals come in other colors, are generally not good electrical conductors, and come in a variety of phases, solid, liquid, or gas.
Semi-metals have some properties of metals and some from nonmetals. Semi-metals are solid at room temperature. They are also brittle, hard, and somewhat reactive.
Some 2p coins are not magnetic because they are made of different metals such as copper, bronze, or brass that do not contain magnetic properties. These coins may be composed of alloys or combinations of metals that do not exhibit magnetic properties like iron or steel.
The six elements that are not metals but have some properties of metals are hydrogen, boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, and tellurium. These elements exhibit characteristics such as conductivity and metallic luster, but they do not display all the typical properties of metals.
Their properties are similar with non-metals and metals. That's why they're called semi-metals. They are reactive depending on the element they are reacting with, and they are semi-conductors.
Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are located in between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table and include elements like silicon, arsenic, and germanium. Metalloids typically have a combination of metallic and nonmetallic properties, such as being semi-conductive in nature.
Elements are categorized into metals, non-metals, and metalloids based on their properties such as conductivity, appearance, and reactivity. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are often dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids share properties of both metals and non-metals.
Yes...It shows some properties similar to metals, some to non-metals, and some totally different than these two..!!
Metalloids have some properties similar to properties of non metals; metalloids have bad thermal and electrical conductivity, they are brittle, soft etc.
Not of metals. Only the properties of non metals
Elements are classified into matals and non metals due to different properties of both. Some elements have properties in between and are called metaloids. The reason for the classification is to make their study easy.
Semi-metals have some properties of metals and some from nonmetals. Semi-metals are solid at room temperature. They are also brittle, hard, and somewhat reactive.

There are a number of physical properties that can be present in meted metals. These metals are often very dull in appearance for example.
No, not all solid elements are metals. There are three main types of elements: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. While metals make up the majority of the periodic table, there are also nonmetals and metalloids which have different properties and characteristics.
Some 2p coins are not magnetic because they are made of different metals such as copper, bronze, or brass that do not contain magnetic properties. These coins may be composed of alloys or combinations of metals that do not exhibit magnetic properties like iron or steel.
Metalloids have some properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can exhibit characteristics of metals, such as conductivity, and characteristics of nonmetals, such as brittleness. Metalloids are found in a staircase pattern on the periodic table between metals and nonmetals.
Each metal has its own specific set of properties. Some metals are better conductors than others. Some metals have higher melting temperatures than others, there is even a metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature, that metal is called Mercury. Same metals are more malleable than others. They also differ in weights, in density.
