Classification of Elements as Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids -
The elements can be divided into three categories i.e, metals and non-metals and metalloids. Metals comprise more than 78% of all known elements and appear on the left side of the Periodic Table. Metals are usually solids at room temperature except mercury which is liquid at room temperature and even gallium and caesium also have very low melting points (303K and 302K. respectively). Metals usually have high melting and boiling points. They are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are malleable and ductile .

Nitric acid(HNO3) is a strong oxidising agent. The Hydrogen gas produced during its reaction with metal gets oxidised to H2O, hence no hydrogen gas is produced.
