Step-by-step explanation:

metal

a solid material which is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g. iron, gold, silver, and aluminium, and alloys such as steel).

non metal.

In chemistry, a nonmetal is a type of chemical element generally characterized by low density, low strength, and a tendency to form acidic compounds

metalloid

an element (e.g. arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid non-metals or semiconductors. Also called semimetal.

Answer:

metals , nonmetals and metalloids are all type of elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metals have special characterstics like malleability,ductility and they are found on the left of the perodic table metallity decreases as we go to the right.Nonmetals are the total opposite of metals they are nonmellable,low boiling and melting points.Whereas metalliods are between the two and are called semi metals.
