Question

Different bitween metal or nonmetal of their physical properties

Answer 1

Now, considering the difference between their physical properties, metals are malleable, which means it can be beaten to thin sheets. ... 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.

Answer 2

☆ Physical properties of Metals and Non-Metals ☆

☆ Physical State :

As we all know that Metals are soild at room temperature. But mercury is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature.

Whereas non-metals are soilds or gases.
For example- sulphur ( soild ) , Oxygen ( Gas ).

☆ Malleability :

The property of metals due to which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability.

Metals are malleable whereas non-metals are non-malleable .

For example- Aluminium foil.

☆ Ductility :

The property of metals due to which they can be drawn into wires is basically termed as Ductility.

Metals are ductile in nature whereas non-metals are non-Ductile in nature.

For example- copper wire.

☆ Lustre

The property of metals due to which the appear shiny and lustrous is basically termed as lustre .

Metals have lustre whereas non-metals do not have lustre . Non metals have dull appearance.

☆ Conductivity :

non-metals are poor conductor of both heat and electricity.

• exception - Diamond is a good conductor of heat .

Graphite is a good conductor of electricity.

Metals are a good conductor of both electricty and heat.

☆ Tensile strength :

The property of a substance which allow to bear a lot of weight is basically termed as tensile strength.

Metals have high tensile strength whereas non-metals do not have high tensile strength.

That's the reason that why metals used in making / construction of bridges and buildings .

☆ Sonority :

The property of a substance to produce a ringing sound when struck with a hard material is basically termed as sonority .

Metals are sonorous in nature whereas non-metals aren't sonorous.

that's the reason that why metals are being used in electric bells , as a wire in musical instruments.
