Answer 2

Answer:

1.Metals are electron donors..whereas non metals are electron receptors when the both combine to form an electrovalent compound

2.Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat whereas Non metals are generally not good conductors of electricity and heat

3.Metals are shiny and Lustrous whereas non metals are generally not

4.Metals on combination with with non metals form ionic or electrovalent compounds whereas Non metals on combination with non metals form covalent bonds.

5.Certain Metals possess properties such as Malleability and Ductility whereas non metals do not possess.
