Metals are malleable, which means they can be hammered into thin sheets. Malleability refers to the ability of a material, particularly metals, to deform under compressive stress without breaking, allowing them to be shaped into sheets.
Metals are malleable, which means
they can be stretched into a long, thin wire.
they can carry an electric current through them.
they shine.

Most metals tend to be solid at room temperature, with the notable exception of mercury, which is a liquid.
True or false: ALL nonmetals tend to be dull, as opposed to shiny.
False. While many nonmetals are dull in appearance, not all nonmetals are. For example, iodine is a nonmetal that can have a shiny appearance in its solid form. Nonmetals can vary in appearance, including being shiny, but they generally do not have the metallic luster characteristic of metals.

Nonmetals are to the right of the staircase line (also known as the "zig-zag" line) on the periodic table. This line separates metals (to the left) from nonmetals (to the right).

Nonmetals are mostly gases at room temperature. While there are nonmetals that are solids (such as carbon and sulfur) and one liquid (bromine), the majority of nonmetals (such as nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen) are gases.
