Any element which has between one and three valance electrons, and which therefore tends to lose electrons in a chemical reaction, is a metal. Metals have a lustrous appearance, are highly opaque and are good reflectors of electromagnetic radiation, they are good conductors of electricity, and they tend to be flexible rather than brittle (although it is possible to make brittle alloys). Metals can combine with nonmetals to form salts.

What type of metal is HCL ON the periodic table?
HCl is not a metal, it is a compound. That compound too, does not have any mettalic characteristics.
What are the characteristics of semi metal?
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
How does metal casting make use of the diff Characteristics of liquid and solids?
Metal casting takes advantage of the differences in characteristics between liquids and solids by using the liquid state of molten metal to shape it into a desired form and then allowing it to solidify to retain that shape. The molten metal can flow into intricate molds to create complex shapes and then harden into a solid metal part. This process allows for the production of various metal components with different sizes, shapes, and properties.
What metal or nonmetal or semi metal a germanium?

What are the characteristics of pure metal crystals?
Pure metal crystals have a regular and repeating atomic arrangement, known as a close-packed structure. They exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity due to the free movement of electrons within the crystal lattice. Pure metal crystals are malleable, ductile, and have high melting points.
