Metals can be found impure, when they are extracted from the earth's crust, where they may be combined with other chemical elements, in which case they may need to be chemically separated to make it the best for use.
The word for impure metals is "alloy." An alloy is a mixture of a metal with other elements, often to improve its properties like strength or corrosion resistance. Examples of alloys include bronze (copper and tin) and steel (iron and carbon).
If you are referring to the periodic table, then metals and non-metals, though if that is the case I should remind you that metalloids are also a category. Though if you were asking more broadly about molecules, as this category would suggest, you're probably looking for organic and inorganic.
The three main categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, metalloids, and nonmetals.
The periodic table consists of different types of elements, including metals (such as iron and copper), non-metals (such as oxygen and sulfur), metalloids (such as silicon and arsenic), noble gases (such as helium and neon), and transitional metals (such as iron and gold).
The three broad classes of elements found the periodic table are metals, non metals, and metalloids.
There are three types of elements: metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. Most elements are metals.

Elements from the periodic table. There are many different types of metals.
The three main types of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, conductive, and malleable. Nonmetals are typically dull, poor conductors, and brittle. Metalloids have properties that are between metals and nonmetals.
Two or more types of metals or non metals combine to form an alloy.
