Most elements are metals. They are typically shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, have a high density, and only melt at high temperatures. Metals are ductile and malleable, so their shape can be easily changed into thin wires or sheets. Metals will corrode, gradually wearing away like rusting iron.
Nonmetals, are very different from metals. Their surface is dull and they are poor conductor of heat and electricity. As compared to metals, they have low density and will melt at low temperatures. The shape of a nonmetal cannot be changed easily as they tend to be brittle and will break.
Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are semi-conductors. This means that they can carry an electrical charge under special conditions. This property makes metalloids useful in computers and calculators .
What else can I help you with?
What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.

Is Nobel gases metals or non metals or metalloids?
Non-metals, they are all gases.
Why aren't metalloids in the metal group?
Because they are neither metals nor non-metals

Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
What are the three classes of elements?
The three classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, solid at room temperature, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
What type of element are their?
Elements can be classified as metals, metalloids, and non-metals.
How do you define an element?
Metal,Non-metals,Metalloids,Transition Metals
