Distinguish between metals, semi-metals, and non-metals. You can better understand the properties of an element by recognizing what type of element it is. Fortunately, most periodic tables use color to indicate whether the element is a metal, semi-metal, or non-metal. You’ll notice that metals occur to the left of the table, while non-metals fall on the right. Semi-metals are sandwiched between them.

Keep in mind that hydrogen can be grouped with either the Halogens or the Alkali Metals because of its properties, so it may appear on either side of the table or may be colored differently.
Elements are labeled as a metal if they have luster, are solid at room temperature, conduct heat and electricity, and are malleable and ductile.
Elements are considered a non-metal if they lack luster, don’t conduct heat or electricity, and are non-malleable. These elements are usually gases at room temperature but may also become a solid or liquid at certain temperatures.
Elements are labeled as semi-metals if they have a mixture of properties of both metals and non-metals.[8]
