Up to the moment there are88 certain metals out of the entire118 known elements in the Periodic Table. and they are classified as following:

6 Alkali Metals

6 Alkaline Earth Metals

38 Transition Metals

8 Post-transition Metals

15 Lanthanides

15 Actinides

 

The following elements still can be considered metals (But not with the same certainty as the above88 ones)

7 Metalloids

6 Transactinide elements (Still under experimentations)

This adds up to nearly101 metalic element in the periodic table.

 

On the other hand, there are only7 non-metals besides the4 Halogens and the6 Noble gases.
