Question

Describe metals and non metals.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Metals;-

• a metal is an element that readily forms positive ions (cations) and has metallic bonds. Metals are sometimes described as a lattice of positive ions surrounded by a cloud of delocalized electrons.The traditional definition focuses on the bulk properties of metals.

Non-Metals;-

• In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. A nonmetal is typically brittle when solid and usually has poor thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity.

Answer 2

Answer:

The metals are arranged on the left side and the non-metals on the right side of the periodic table.

Metals (like copper and aluminium) are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals (such as phosphorus and sulfur) are insulators.

metals form basic oxides whereas non metals form acidic oxides.
