most ellements are metals?

Answer 1

ture

Answer 2

Yes most elements are in fact metals. This can be seen easily looking at the periodic table. Here is a link to an interactive periodic table. Im sure you will find it helpful in chemistry.

Answer 3

Indeed they are. That may strike you as odd, but in fact it's the nonmetallic behaviour which is peculiar. A metal is more or less just a glom of atoms stuck together, packed as tightly as possible, held together by mutual attraction of the cores (nuclei + inner electrons) for the "sea" of valence electrons all around them. It's a pretty generic kind of solid, with little enough in the way of strikingly "atomic" properties.

By contrast the nonmetals are very odd: they indulge in very finicky bonding, in fixed ratios, with remarkable and unique structures, from the rings of sulfur to the pyramids of phosphorus, to the even more remarkable allotropes of carbon (diamond, graphite, buckythings). Only a relative few of the elements have these remarkable bonding properties.

What may be puzzling is that we see relatively little of pure metallic behaviour in the substances around us. But that's a consequence of the fact that metals are pretty promiscious in their chemical reactivity, and hence very few metal atoms at the Earth's surface have not already chemically reacted with a nonmetal. The resulting ionic, or somewhat covalent, compounds tend to have all the typically metallic properties (malleable, conductive, shiny) stripped away, and hence seem to be intuitively like the nonmetal elements. That's probably why the nonmetal elements seem more natural to us.
