Metal elements are usually good conductors of both electricity and heat. The dividing line between metals and non-metals is not hard and fast, thus the distinction between Post-transition metals and Metalloids is represented differently on different versions of the Periodic Table.etal elements are usually good conductors of both electricity and heat.

Look at the Periodic Table in your textbook that shows the elements as metals, nonmetals, and. metalloids. (Metalloids, sometimes called semi-metals, behave some of the time as metals and. other times as nonmetals.) A very important distinction between metals and nonmetals is their. capacity to give up or accept electrons to become ions.
