Ok sure,It is not easy to define a metal ,physically a metal is a form of a substance which is a good conductor of heat and electricity, some metals are found in pure state and some in combination of other elements.Many metals which are in pure state have the properties of undesirable.
These are generalities.
Metals are usually defined as malleable, lustrous, good conductors of heat and electricity. Chemically they are cationic and base-forming. Typically they have higher density than non-metals.
