Conclusionofmetalsandnonmetals

Answer 1

metals are good conductors of heat and electricity while non metals are not.mercury is the only metal that does'nt conduct electricity and graphite is the only non metal which conduct electricity.metals have the valance electrons of either 1,2 or 3,while non metals have more than 3.  

just take an example of sodium, magnesium and aluminium.  

sodium-2,8,1.magnesium-2,8,2.aluminium...  

but if we consider carbon,carbon has 2,8,4.here the valance electron in metals we saw that are 1,2 or 3.while in carbon which is a non-metal has the 4 electrons in its outermost shell.  

metals always form ionic bond by losing its electrons and completing its octet,while non-metals form bond by covalent bond by sharing its electrons to complete its octet.

Answer 2

Metals have the same characteristics, behaviour and properties. Some are that; they easily allow heat and ..
