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
Most elements on this line are metalloids, sometimes called semi-metals; elements to the lower left are metals; elements to the upper right are nonmetals. A modern definition of metals is that they have overlapping conduction bands and valence bands in their electronic structure. This definition opens up the category for metallic polymers and other organic metals, which have been made by researchers and employed in high-tech devices.
