The main properties of metals and non-metals are as follows:-

METALS:

1. Metals are both malleable and ductile.
2. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
3. Metals are lustrous and can be polished.
4. Metals are solid at room temperature. The exception is mercury.
5. Metals are strong and tough.

NON-METALS

1. Non-metals are neither malleable nor ductile as they are brittle and break easily.
2. Non-metals do not conduct heat or electricity. The exception is graphite.
3. Non-metals are dull and not lustrous and cannot be polished. The exception is iodine.
4. Non-metals can be solid, liquid, or in a gaseous state at room temperature.
