- Metals are generally hard, except sodium and potassium which are soft metals.
- Metals are malleable, i.e., metals can be changed into sheets without getting broken by hammering.
- Metals passess ductile property, i.e., fine wires can be drawn from them.Gold is the most ductile metal, 3.2 km length of wire can be drawn by 1 g of gold.
Non- Metals:
- Most of the non-metals are gases at room temperature. Bromine is a non- metals which is liquid at room temperature.
- Non- Metals are brittle. These don't show malleable and ductile property.e.g. Sulphur and phosphorus get broken on hammering.
- Non- metals don't show lustre.
- Except graphite, all non- metals are bad conductor of electricity and heat.
