This document classifies elements into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their position in the periodic table. Metals are generally located on the left side and are substances that are usually shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually located on the right side and tend to be poor conductors with a wide range of properties. Metalloids are in between metals and nonmetals in terms of their properties.
