It is easy for the <a href="/wiki/Atom" title="Atom">atoms</a> of a metal to lose an <a href="/wiki/Electron" title="Electron">electron</a> and become positive <a href="/wiki/Ion" title="Ion">ions</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Cation" title="Cation">cations</a>. In this way, metals are not like the other two kinds of elements - the <a href="/wiki/Nonmetal" title="Nonmetal">nonmetals</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Metalloid" title="Metalloid">metalloids</a>. Most <a href="/wiki/Chemical_element" title="Chemical element">elements</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Periodic_table" title="Periodic table">periodic table</a> are metals. </p><p>On the <a href="/wiki/Periodic_table" title="Periodic table">periodic table</a>, we can draw a zigzag line from the <a href="/wiki/Chemical_element" title="Chemical element">element</a> <a href="/wiki/Boron" title="Boron">boron</a> (symbol B) to the <a href="/wiki/Chemical_element" title="Chemical element">element</a> <a href="/wiki/Polonium" title="Polonium">polonium</a> (symbol Po). The elements that this line passes through are the <a href="/wiki/Metalloid" title="Metalloid">metalloids</a>. The elements that are above and to the right of this line are the <a href="/wiki/Nonmetal" title="Nonmetal">nonmetals</a>. The rest of the elements are the metals. </p><p>Most of the properties of metals are due to the fact that the <a href="/wiki/Atom" title="Atom">atoms</a> in the metal do not hold onto their <a href="/wiki/Electron" title="Electron">electrons</a> very tightly. Each atom is separated from the others by a thin <a href="/wiki/Layer" class="mw-disambig" title="Layer">layer</a> of <a href="/wiki/Valence" class="mw-disambig" title="Valence">valence</a> <a href="/wiki/Electron" title="Electron">electrons</a>. </p><p>However, some metals are different. An example is the metal <a href="/wiki/Sodium" title="Sodium">sodium</a>. It is <a href="https://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/soft" class="extiw" title="wikt:soft">soft</a>, melts at a low <a href="/wiki/Temperature" title="Temperature">temperature</a>, and is so <a href="/wiki/Density" title="Density">light</a>, it <a href="https://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/float" class="extiw" title="wikt:float">floats</a> on <a href="/wiki/Water" title="Water">water</a>. People should not try this though, because another property of <a href="/wiki/Sodium" title="Sodium">sodium</a> is that it <a href="/wiki/Explosion" title="Explosion">explodes</a> when it touches <a href="/wiki/Water" title="Water">water</a>. </p><p>Most metals are <a href="/wiki/Chemical" class="mw-redirect" title="Chemical">chemically</a> <a href="/wiki/Stable" title="Stable">stable</a>, and do not <a href="/wiki/Chemical_reaction" title="Chemical reaction">react</a> easily, but some do. The reactive ones are the <a href="/wiki/Alkali" title="Alkali">alkali</a> metals like <a href="/wiki/Sodium" title="Sodium">sodium</a> (symbol Na) and the <a href="/wiki/Alkaline_earth_metal" title="Alkaline earth metal">alkaline earth metals</a> like <a href="/wiki/Calcium" title="Calcium">calcium</a> (symbol Ca). When metals do react, they often react with <a href="/wiki/Oxygen" title="Oxygen">oxygen</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Oxide" title="Oxide">oxides</a> of metals are <a href="/wiki/Base_(chemistry)" title="Base (chemistry)">basic</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Oxide" title="Oxide">oxides</a> of <a href="/wiki/Nonmetal" title="Nonmetal">nonmetals</a> are <a href="/wiki/Acid" title="Acid">acidic</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Chemical_compound" title="Chemical compound">Compounds</a>, which have metal <a href="/wiki/Atom" title="Atom">atoms</a> combined with other <a href="/wiki/Atom" title="Atom">atoms</a> to make <a href="/wiki/Molecules" class="mw-redirect" title="Molecules">molecules</a>, are probably the most common substances on Earth.
