Metals and nonmetals
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for information on metals and nonmetals, which are categories within the periodic table of elements, and likely seeks to understand their properties and differences.
Answer
Metals conduct heat and electricity well; nonmetals usually do not.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are generally insulators.
Answer for screen readers
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are generally insulators.
More Information
Metals, such as copper and aluminum, allow for easy flow of electric current and transfer of heat due to free-moving electrons. Nonmetals, like phosphorus and sulfur, lack these free electrons, making them poor conductors.
