Answer: metals, 88 , periodic table , luster , heat, electricity , thin, right, opposite , appearance , luster  , malleable , ductile, opposite , shiny, moderately

Explanation:

Most of the elements in the periodic table are metals. Most of them are present on the left side of the periodic table. Elements to the far right of the periodic table are nonmetals. Elements which exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals and are termed metalloids or semimetals.

Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They are hard ,malleable ( betaen to sheets) ,ductile ( drawn into wires) ,sonorous ( produce sound ) etc.

Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They are brittle and soft and are the poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. Metalloids are typically semi-conductors, which means that they both insulate and conduct electricity.

The elements with the tendency to lose electrons are termed metals. The elements with the tendency to gain electrons are nonmetals. And, the elements with properties between metals and nonmetals are metalloids.

  • Most elements are metals.

  • The 88 elements on the left side of the stairstep line on the periodic table of elements are metals.

  • Some physical properties of metals  are luster (shininess), good conductors of heat and  electricity, and can be hammered into thin sheets.

  • Non-metals are found  to the right of the stair-step line on the Periodic Table of Elements.

  • The characters of nonmetals are  opposite to those of metals.

  • Nonmetals have a dull luster or  appearance.

  • Nonmetals also break easily and are not  malleable or ductile.

  • Metalloids that are on opposite sides of the zig-zag line have both properties of metals and nonmetals.

  • Metalloids can be shiny or dull and can conduct heat and electricity moderately well.
