Metals and Non-metals
Metals 1. Metals are malleable and ductile.
Non-metals 1. Non-metals are neither malleable nor ductile.
Metals 2. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals 2. Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity.(except graphite which is a good conductors of electricity).
Metals 3. Metals are lustrous.
Non-metals 3. Non-metals are non-lustrous.
Metals 4. Metals are strong .They have high tensile strength.(except sodium and potassium which are not strong and have low tensile strength).
Non-metals 4. Non-metals are not strong.They have low tensile strength.
