Answer 2

Metals

1) Metals are usually solid in state

2) Metals are sonorous ( if we tap on them a sound is produced)

3) Metals are malleable ( we can change their shape)

4) Metals are ductile ( can be drawn into thin wires)

5) Metals conduct electricity and heat

Non Metals

1) Non metals are usually in liquid and gaseous state

2) Non metals are not sonorous

3) Non metals are not malleable

4) Non metals are not ductile

5) Non metals do not conduct electricity and heat
