This document provides information about the periodic table of elements. It discusses the key properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their location on the periodic table. Metals are located on the left side and have properties like luster, malleability, conductivity, and corrosion. Nonmetals are on the right side and have properties such as being dull, brittle, low density, and poor conductivity. Metalloids are in between and share some properties of both metals and nonmetals.
