Elements are classified into three categories: metals, metalloids, and nonmetals.<\/p>\n<p>Metals are elements that are shiny, ductile, and malleable. They are good conductors of electricity and heat. Metalloids are elements that have some metallic properties, but also some nonmetallic properties. Nonmetals are elements that are poor conductors of electricity and heat.
