Answer 2

Answer:

Metals

1) Good conductors of electricity

2)They are sonorous

3) They are ductile

4)They are malleable

5) They are lustrous

6) They are hard in nature

7)They have high melting and boiling point

8)They mostly exists in solid state except mercury which is a liquid metal

9) Metals are positively charged elements

10)They are good conductors of heat

Non metals

1) They are poor conductors of electricity (except graphite which is a non metal but good conductor of electricity)

2)They are non sonorous

3)They are non ductile

4) They are not malleable

5)They are non lustrous (except diamond)

6) They are versatile in nature

7) They have low melting and boiling point (except diamond)

8)They exists in solid, liquid,and gaseous state

9)Non metals are negatively charged elements

10)They are poor conductors of heat
