Question

Differenciate between Metals and Non Metals? koi hai kya bat karne keliye feeling bo red (¬_¬)​

Answer 1

Answer:

02 Acid, Bases and Salt

Metals Non-Metals

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.

MAIN POINTS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALS AND NON-METALS

MetalsNon-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.

DIFFERENCES IN CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

MetalsNon-Metals Metals form basic oxides.Non-metals form acidic oxides or neutral oxides Metals displace hydrogen from water (or steam).Non-metals do not react with water (or steam) Metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids.

Non-metals do not react with dilute acids

 Metals form ionic chlorides with chlorine..Non-metals form covalent chlorides with chlorine, Metals usually do not combine with hydrogen. Only a few reactive metals combine with hydrogen to form ionic metal hydrides.Non- metals react with hydrogen to form stable, covalent hydrides.
