Question

Compare the properties of metals and non metals with respect to:-
(1) hardness (2) ductility (3) conduction of heat and electricity

Answer 1

Metals are hard whereas non metals are soft.

Metals are good Conductors of heat and electricity whereas non metals are bad conductors.

Metals are ductile like copper and turn into wires on beating whereas non metals are not ductile and break into pieces or powdery mass on hammering.
