Answers
Answer:
Metals
Non-Metals
1. Oxides of metal are basic in nature.
1. Oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature.
2. Metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
2. They cannot do so.
3. Metals form chlorides which are electrovalent or ionic compounds.
3. Non-metals form chlorides which are covalent compounds.
4. they displace hydrogen from water
4. They cannot do so
METALS
▪️They are melleable and ductile.
▪️They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
▪️They are sonorous.
▪️They are lustrous.
▪️They are hard.
▪️They are solid at room temperature.
▪️They have high density.
▪️They hav high melting and boiling point.
Examples :−
Copper, Aluminium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron,etc.

NON−METALS
▪️They are neither melleable nor ductile.
▪️They are poor/bad conductors of heat and electricity.
▪️They are not sonorous.
▪️They are dull.
▪️They are soft.
▪️It may be solid,liquid or gas.
▪️They have low density.
▪️They have low melting and boiling point.
Examples :−
Sulphur, Carbon, Oxygen, Phosphorus,etc.
