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.
Electronegativity is used to predict the most likely bond by comparing the electronegativity values of the atoms involved. A larger difference in electronegativity between two nonmetal atoms indicates an ionic bond, while a smaller difference suggests a covalent bond. When a nonmetal bonds with a metal, the greater electronegativity of the nonmetal atom results in an ionic bond due to the transfer of electrons.
The difference is that metal gear solid games are just the game. Substances are the game with new features GHOST-OF-TSC: exactly
