Answer 1

Answer:

Metals:

1. Metals are usually good conductors of heat and electricity.
2. They are hard, opaque, shiny, lustrous and malleable and ductile.
3. Metals usually form ionic bonds.

None-Metals:

1. Non-metals are usually good insulators of heat and electricity.
2. They are usually brittle and have dull appearence.
3. None-metals usually form covalent compounds.

Answer 2

While metals are good conductors of electricity and heat, non-metals are poor conductors. Unlike non-metals, metals are ductile, which means they can be stretched into wires. Another difference between metals and non-metals, is that the former has a metallic luster, while the other does not.
