Metals are conductors. Nonmetals are not. A few metals are magnetic, due to nonpairing of electron spins.
Sn,metal, conducts
Al metal, conducts
Pb metal, conducts
Zn metal conducts
Fe metal conducts, magnetic
Cu metal conducts, slightly magnetic
Si nonmetal
S8 nonmetal
Ni metal, conducts, slightly magnetic
C nonmetal
