difference between metals and non metals by their physical propoties
Answers
Answer:
Physical Properties:
Non-metals are not ductile so, they cannot be made into thin wires. Non-metals are insulators or poor conductors of electricity and heat because they do not lose electrons to transmit the energy. At room temperature, they can be in the state of solids, liquids or gases. They are non-sonorous.
Explanation:
Metal Physical Properties:
Lustrous (shiny)
Good conductors of heat and electricity.
High melting point.
High density (heavy for their size)
Malleable (can be hammered)
Ductile (can be drawn into wires)
Usually solid at room temperature (an exception is mercury)
Opaque as a thin sheet (can't see through metals)

HIII!
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS:
▶️ SHINY (OR LUSTROUS) IN NATURE
▶️ METAL IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY
▶️ MALLEABLE
▶️ DUCTILE
▶️ OPAQUE
▶️ AT ROOM TEMPERATURE IT IS SOLID
▶️ SONOROUS
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF NON-METALS
▶️ NON- DUCTILE
▶️ NON-SONOROUS
▶️ NON- MALLEABLE
▶️ TRANSPARENT
▶️ BAD CONDUCTOR OF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY
▶️ MAY BE LIQUID AND GASES IN ROOM TEPERATURE
