Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids

The periodic Table is broken up into three sections

• Metals 

• Nonmetals

• Metalloids

​

Periodic Table

is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance

​

Physical Properties

substances that have the physical properties of luster, conductivity, malleability, and ductility; most of the elements and often seen in solid form.​

​

• ​Shiny luster

• Malleable

Metal Physical Properties

​

substances that have the physical properties of being dull, insulators, and brittle; may appear in all three states of matter

​

Nonmetals

• Dull

• ​Brittle

• Not malleable

• Insulator

• Not ductile​

Nonmetal Physical Properties

​

Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals; found between metals and nonmetals on periodic table​

Metalloids

• ​Typically solids

• Can be shiny or dull

• Can be malleable

• Can be ductile

• Can be brittle

• Good semiconductor​
