[1250–1300; Middle English (< Old French) < Latin metallum quarry, metal < Greek métallon] met′al•like`, adj. met·al (mĕt′l) 1. Any of a large group of elements, including iron, gold, copper, lead, and magnesium, that conduct heat and electricity well. Metals can be hammered into thin sheets or drawn into wires. They are usually shiny and opaque. All metals except mercury are solid at room temperature. 2. An alloy, such as steel or bronze, made of two or more metals. Usage We think of metals as hard, shiny materials used to make things like paper clips and cars. But for chemists, a metal is a chemical element that loses electrons in a chemical reaction. Metal atoms do this because of the structure of their electron shells—the layers in which electrons are arranged around an atom's nucleus. If an element's outermost electron shell is filled, the element is stable and does not react easily. But if the shell contains only a few electrons, the atom will try to share them with another atom in a chemical reaction, thereby becoming stable.

Elements having only one electron in their outermost shell are the most reactive; all they have to do to become stable is lose this electron. Such elements are alkali metals like sodium and potassium, and they are listed in the left-hand column of the Periodic Table at Periodic Table . The metals farther toward the right side of the Periodic Table, such as tin and lead, have more electrons in their outermost shell and are not as reactive because sharing or losing all these electrons would require more energy. The elements that fall between these extremes are somewhat reactive and are called transition elements. They include elements like iron, copper, tungsten, and silver. metal I will have been metalling you will have been metalling he/she/it will have been metalling we will have been metalling you will have been metalling they will have been metalling Past Perfect Continuous Noun 1. metal - any of several chemical elements that are usually shiny solids that conduct heat or electricity and can be formed into sheets etc.
