Classification of Elements
Metals are lustrous, malleable and ductile. They
are good conductors of heat. Metals are found on
the left side of the ladder-like line in the periodic
table (except hydrogen) The ladder-like line is the
diagonal line drawn approximately from B to At.

Periodic Table of Elements
Classification of Elements
Non-metals differ from metals in their physical
and chemical properties and are found on the
right side of the ladder-like line in the periodic
table.
Metalloids are elements that exhibit some
properties of both metals and non-metals and
they lie along the ladder-like line separating the
metals from the non-metals in the periodic table.
