A metal (from Greek Î¼Î­ÏÎ±Î»Î»Î¿Î½ metallon, mÃ©tallon, mine, quarry) metal is a (material an, element, compound or) alloy that is typically, hard, opaque, shiny and has good electrical and thermal. conductivity
Metals typically have the following physical properties: a lustrous appearance, the ability to change shape without breaking, and excellent conductivity of heat and electricity. Nonmetals typically do not have these physical properties, although there are some exceptions. However it is the chemical difference that really counts. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, and nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form negative ions. 15 people found this useful.
