Metal

What is metal?

A metal is a type of periodic table element that has high electrical and thermal conductivity, and luster, and easily loses electrons to form a cation. Different types of metals constitute three-fourths of the elements in the periodic table.

Metals on the periodic table

Metals have properties to contain few electrons in the outer shell but it contains too many orbitals. It formed different types of crystals by a metallic bonding.

All the metals of the periodic table are classified as alkali, alkaline earth, transition, and rare earth metals. The properties and uses of different types of metal on the periodic table are given below the topics.
