Are these metals or non matels?-Semi Conductors-Halogens-Noble Gases
A metal (from Greek μ?ταλλον – métallon, mine, quarry, metal is an element, compound, or alloy that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat. Metals are usually malleable, ductile and shiny. The meaning of the term metal differs for various communities (for example, astronomers call for convenience metals everything but hydrogen and helium, see Metallicity). Many elements and compounds that are not normally classified as metals become metallic under high pressures. Metals typically consist of close-packed atoms, meaning that the atoms are arranged like closely packed spheres. Two packing motifs are common, one being body-centered cubic wherein each metal atom is surrounded by eight equivalent atoms. The other main motif is face-centered cubic where the metal atoms are surrounded by six neighboring atoms. Several metals adopt both structures, depending on the temperature.
