Metal is a ductile and malleable lustrous material that is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Metals include alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanides, actinides, transition metals, and post-transition metals. On the periodic table, 85 out of 118 known elements are metals. The other ten unknown chemical properties from meitnerium to oganesson are likely to be metals. And the rest of the elements are metalloids and nonmetals.
