Answer:
Search the the periodic table for more info

Step-by-step explanation:
Metals are, well, metals. Examples are Iron, Copper, and Aluminum.

Non Metals are simple; they are not metals

Metalloids are complex to define, so I will let the Oxford Dictionary explain for me;
an element whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.
