A metal element is a type of chemical element characterized by its high electrical conductivity, malleability, ductility, and luster.
Metals typically have a crystalline structure and are found on the left side of the periodic table. They tend to lose electrons easily, forming positively charged ions, and exhibit metallic bonding.
Common metal elements include copper, iron, gold, and aluminum. Metals play crucial roles in various industrial applications, such as construction, electronics, and transportation, due to their desirable physical and chemical properties.
