Metals

Explanation:

Elements in the periodic table can be divided into metals, non metals and metalloids. Non metals are elements that cannot conduct heat and electricity. Most non metals in the periodic table Form anions when they ionize. Non metals in the periodic table include chlorine, fluorine , phosphorus and many more. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between non metals and metals. Example of metalloids are silicon, boron ,arsenic and germanium. Metalloids are mostly used for computer chips.

Metals are elements that readily form cations when they ionize. Metals are lustrous and have the ability to conduct electricity  and heat.

Metals are malleable and ductile. Malleability of a substance is the ability of that substance to be deformed or shaped into sheets. The ductility of a substance is the ability of the substance to be stretched into wire.  Example of metals are Iron, copper, zinc, calcium, aluminium etc.
