Answer 1

Metals :-

• lustrous
• sonorous
• ductile
• hard
• good conductor
• malleable

Non-metals :-

• not lustrous
• not sonorous
• not ductile
• soft
• poor conductor
• non malleable

Answer 2

Answer:

metals-

1. are solid at room temperature, except mercury.
2. have high melting and boiling point.
3. have high density.
4. are lustrous.
5. can be drawn into sheets, called as malleability.
6. can be drawn into wires, called as ductility.
7. good conductor of heat and electricity.
8. sonorous, produce sound when struck.
9. are strong and hard

non metals-

1. are solid or gaseous at room temperature, except bromine.
2. have low melting and boiling point.
3. have low density.
4. are non lustrous.
5. cannot be drawn into sheets.
6. can't be drawn into wires.
7. bad conductor of hest and electricity.
8. non sonorous.
9. are soft and brittle.
