Why isn't ice a metal? Even though it have all properties ,mostly,of a metal?
I thought ice are shiny,hard,conductors of electricity, malleable and may be many more, if its so then why isnt ice a metal based on metals detonation

or:You do have a printed periodic table, right? You can get the information at www.chemicalelements.com/index.html but you really need your own printed copy to carry with you. It will be a primary reference for everything you do. There is a diagonal line, B-C, Si-P, Ge-As, Sb-Te, and Po-At. Elements to the left of the line are metals, meaning they lose an electron easily, elements to the right of the line are non-metals, and elements on the line are semiconductors.\"I thought ice are shiny,hard,conductors of electricity, malleable ...\" Water ice is none of those, except hard.
