Metals and Non Metals: Concept Map Overview
A metals and non metals concept map sorts elements by how they look and behave. Metals are usually lustrous, malleable, ductile and good conductors of heat and electricity. Non metals are usually dull, brittle and poor conductors, with a few exceptions such as graphite. The map links each property to examples like iron, copper, sulfur and oxygen.
- Physical properties: lustre, hardness, malleability, ductility, conductivity
- Chemical properties: reactions with oxygen, water and acids
- Metalloids: elements with mixed properties, such as silicon
- Uses: everyday objects and materials made from each group
- Examples: named elements placed under each category
Use the map to compare the two groups before a test, then tell CogniGuide what you are studying to build a personalized version from your own notes.

Metals and Non Metals FAQ
Common questions about the topic and making your own map.
Why are most elements metals?
Most known elements are metals because metallic bonding and the tendency to lose electrons are common across the periodic table. Metals sit on the left and centre, while non metals cluster at the upper right.
What is the exception to non metals being poor conductors?
Graphite, a form of carbon, conducts electricity well because its electrons move through layers of carbon atoms. It is a non metal that still behaves as a conductor.
Which files can I use to make this map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image of your notes. You can also just type the topic.
Is it free, and can it become a quiz?
There is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself.
