What are the three grouping of elements in the periodic table
1 answer
The three main groups of elements in the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat, and are malleable and ductile. Nonmetals, on the other hand, are typically dull in appearance, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and are brittle. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
