Question

Difference between metals and
nonmetals

Answer 1

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)

metals are sonorous or make a bell-like sound when struck

Metal Chemical Properties

have 1-3 electrons in the outer shell of each metal atom and lose electrons readily

corrode easily (e.g., damaged by oxidation such as tarnish or rust)

lose electrons easily

form oxides that are basic

have lower electronegativities

are good reducing agents

.

Answer 2

Metals are lusture they are sonorous they are hard in nature and good conductor of eletricity and had property of malleable and ductile
