100

This is a type of element that is typically a hard, shiny solid and is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Metal

200

This is a type of element that is usually a gas or a brittle solid at room temperature, not malleable or ductile and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.

Non-metal

300

This is a type of element that shares some properties of metals and some of non-metals; located along the Periodic Staircase.

Metalloid

400

This is the columns on a Periodic Table that arrange the elements by the number of electrons that are in the outer shell; elements are grouped by their chemical and physical properties.
