    • metals are elements that can form positive ions
    • metals are located on the left
    • non metals are on the right are mainly form negative ions
    • metals to the left tend to loose electrons and non metals to the right gain electrons
    • metals are strong and malleable, they conduct electricity
    • metals have high boiling and melting point
    • non metals are more brittle than metals as they have a lower density and cannot conduct electricity
