compare the properties of metals and non metals with respect a mulleability ductility and conductivity?
Answers
Answer:
metals- It is ductile, it is malleable, it is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
whereas, non- metal is nonductile, non malleable and a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
hope this helps you.
Explanation:
Metals.
1. Malleability. = Metals are malleable. They can be beaten into thin sheets with a hammer. ( exception:- zinc is brittle.)
2. DUCTILITY :- Metals are ductile. They can be drawn into wires.
3. CONDUCTIVITY :- Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity.
NON METALS .
1. MALLEABILITY:- Non- metals are non- malleable. They cannot be beaten into thin sheets.
2. DUCTILITY:- Non- metals are not ductile. They cannot be drawn into wires. ( Exception:- carbon fibres).
3. CONDUCTIVITY:- Non- metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. ( Exception:- Graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Gas carbon is also a good conductor of electricity.)
