Most elements in the Periodic Table are metals. They are found to the left of the zigzag line on the Periodic Table.
Some characteristics of metals are:
- good conductors of heat
- good conductors of electricity
- ductile (can be drawn into wires)
- malleable (can be hammered)
- high tensile strength
- usually lustrous/shiny
- atoms of most metals have few electrons in their outer energy level
- most metals are solid at room temperature (an exception is Mercury)
- insoluble in water unless they react e.g sodium, lithium etc
- they lose electrons when they react
they are malleable
1.They are good conductors of heat & electricity.
2.They are shiny.
3.They are solids except Mercury & bromine which are liquid at room temperature.
4.They usually have high melting & boiling points.
5.They can be drawn into wires or beaten into foil & plates.
Aluminium.
silver.
Copper.
Gold.
Lead & tin are some examples of metals.

Well, non metal are brittle - not malleable/bendy unlike metals - though many are gasses, usually poor conductors of electricity and heat, usually melt at low temperatures and they are simply not shiny.
