Question

Difference between Metals and Non-Metals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

MAIN POINTS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALS AND NON-METALS

Metals Non-Metals

Metals are malleable and ductile. .Non- metals are brittle (break easily). They are neither malleable nor ductile.

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.

Metals are strong and tough. Non-metals are not strong or tough.

Answer 2

Answer:

difference between metals and non metals

explanation:

metals and non metals are differentiated by their physical properties.

Metals: these are the substances that form naturally

their physical properties are

.metals are

.hard and solid (but there are some exceptions to this property )that is all metals are hard but mercury is a metal but it is in liquid state.

.ductile .

.maliable.

. lustrous.

.they have boiling and melting points

.they are good conductors of heat and electricity.

.and they produce ringing sounds while they hit something.

non metals :these are the substances that also form naturally in nature and there physical properties are

.non metals are opposite to the properties of metals

.but there are some properties that have some exceptions like

.non metals are poor conductor of heat and electricity

but there are some non metals that are good conductor of heat and electricity
