The "poor metals," or "other metals" are the metals that lay to the right of the transition metals on the periodic table. They generally have a weaker structure than transition metals and have more nonmetal-like characteristics than transition metals do. The group 14 and 15 metals were historically called poor metals, while group 13 metals are rarely called that way.
