Question

carbon is non-metal but lead is a metal why ?

Answer 1

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

Ofcourse carbon is a non metal because it doesn't have properties of metals like ductility, lustrous, malleable, electrical conductivity etc.

Lead is a bluish-white lustrous metal. It is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, and a relatively poor conductor of electricity. It is very resistant to corrosion but tarnishes upon exposure to air. Lead isotopes are the end products of each of the three series of naturally occurring radioactive elements.

I HOPE IT HELPS U.
