| Metals | A solid substance that is a good conductor of eat and electricity. Can be formed into many shapes. |
| Metalloid | "Middle elements" - conduct heat and electricity better than nonmetals, but not as well as metals. Easier to shape than nonmetals, but not as easy as metals. Solid at room temperature. |
| Nonmetals | A poor conductor of heat and electricity. Not easily formed into shapes. |
| Noble Gases |
Noble gases, also Nonmetals but with the
electric configuration very stable. They are poor conductors of heat and
electricity, plus very hard to react with other elements or to formed
into shapes. |
