Nonmetals are materials that do not conduct heat or electricity well.

Metals are malleable, meaning they can be shaped or bent without breaking.

Metals are found on the left to middle of The Periodic Table.

Ductile means that metals can be drawn into wires.

Malleability is the ability of a substance to be deformed or shaped under pressure.

Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct heat or electricity.

Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are dull, brittle, and poor conductors.

An example of a nonmetal is sulfur.
