Metals and nonmetals are two distinct types of materials that we come across in our everyday life. Elements can be divided into metals and nonmetals based on their properties. Here are some examples of metals and nonmetals:

Examples of Metals:

• Copper
• Aluminium
• Gold
• Silver
• Iron
• Zinc
• Sodium
• Potassium
• Magnesium

Examples of Nonmetals:

• Phosphorus
• Sulfur
• Oxygen
• Nitrogen
• Chlorine
• Fluorine
• Carbon
• Helium
• Neon

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are insulators. Metals are generally lustrous, solid, malleable, ductile, and have high melting points, while nonmetals are generally not shiny, brittle, and have low melting points.
