Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids in Your Phone Watch the video to answer the fill in the blank questions below. Watch the video above to match the correct words in the empty spaces. Metals have luster, which means they reflect light. Metals can be hammer and pressed into shape because they are malleable. Metals are the best conductors of electricity. Metals are ductile, meaning they can be pulled into wires.Metalloids share physical properties of both Metals and Nonmetals. Metalloids are semiconductors.Nonmetals are not malleable, but are brittle. Nonmetals are not good conductors of electricity and are called insulators.
