Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity. Except for graphite which is a good conduction of electricity.
Metals are lustrous and can be polished.
Non-metals are non-lustrous (dull) and cannot be polished. Except for iodine
Metals are solids at room temperature.Except for mercury which is a liquid metal. Non-metals may be solid, liquid or gases at the room temperature.
