The metals on the periodic table are found on the left side and in the middle of the table. Here's a breakdown:

Groups:

* Group 1 (Alkali Metals): Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Cesium (Cs), Francium (Fr)

* Group 2 (Alkaline Earth Metals): Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba), Radium (Ra)

* Groups 3-12 (Transition Metals): Scandium (Sc), Titanium (Ti), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Yttrium (Y), Zirconium (Zr), Niobium (Nb), Molybdenum (Mo), Technetium (Tc), Ruthenium (Ru), Rhodium (Rh), Palladium (Pd), Silver (Ag), Cadmium (Cd), Hafnium (Hf), Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W), Rhenium (Re), Osmium (Os), Iridium (Ir), Platinum (Pt), Gold (Au), Mercury (Hg)

* Lanthanides: Lanthanum (La) and the elements from Cerium (Ce) to Lutetium (Lu)

* Actinides: Actinium (Ac) and the elements from Thorium (Th) to Lawrencium (Lr)

Note:

* Metalloids: Elements that border the metal section (like Boron, Silicon, Germanium, etc.) have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

* Nonmetals: These elements are found on the right side of the periodic table.
