Chlorine is a non-metal beacuse in the periodic table chlorine is in the very right side . Chlorine can make bulk materials like bleached paper products also it is used to make dyes, textiles, and medicens . Chlorine is brittle solids - not malleable or ductile. Dull, not metallic-shiny, although it may be colorful. It is also yellow or green yellow

Silicon is a metalloid because in the periodic table it is in the middle of metal and nonmetal. Silicon is also a metalloid because it is shiny and the  form is very brittle with a marked metallic luster. We use silicon for glue sticks , baby toys , stress balls .

Iron is metal because it is in the part of the periodic table that tells you that it is metal. Iron is ductile, gray, relatively soft metal and is a moderately good conductor of heat and electricity. Iron is a really big part of our world most is used to manufacture steel, used in civil engineering (reinforced concrete, girders etc) and in manufacturing.

A metalloids is an element whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals in the periodic table. They are electrical semiconductors. Example like boron , silicon , germanium , and tellurium are types of metalloids.Some of the characteristics are  State of Matter | Solid , Luster | Metallic lustre , Elasticity | Brittle.

Nonmetals are an element or substance that is not a metal. In the periodic table nonmetals are in the very right side. Nonmetals can be oxygen , sulfur , nitrogen , and selenium. Some characteristics are

Poor electrical conductorsBrittle solid.

Brittle solids - not malleable or ductile.

Not metallic-shiny

A metal is a solid material that is typically hard , shiny , malleable , and ductile .  With good thermal conductivity. Examples like iron , gold, silver, copper, and aluminum.
