use an electric circuit and see if it is a conductor.
metalloids
Nails are metal.
Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.
it can be a metal or nonmetal or metalliods
nonmetal
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.

No the metalloids (a.k.a. semimetals) are solids as are five of the nonmetal elements.
An ionic bond.
The electronegativity can be defined as the tendency of an atom to attract an electron.There are three rules of Bonding:-Metallic elements form metallic bonded solids and metal: Metal combinations form metallically bonded solids.Nonmetallic elements and non-metal : Non-metal combinations are covalently bonded. A bond between two non-metal atoms is Covalent.Bonds between metals and nonmetals are either ionic or covalent, depending on the electro-negativity difference.The third rule is governed by critical electro-negativity difference from Pauling's expression for the ionicity fraction of a bond.For more insight on Electro-negativity difference you can search Pauling's Scale or study the related link below.
The difference is that metal gear solid games are just the game. Substances are the game with new features GHOST-OF-TSC: exactly
