Main-group metals include the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and the groups 13-18 of the periodic table. These metals typically have low electronegativities what results in the formation of cations with positive charges. They also have relatively low melting and boiling points, are generally malleable and ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
