Class-8 Chemistry
Answers
Answer:
Difference in Physical Properties of Metals and Non-Metals:
1. Metals are malleable and ductile.
1. Non-metals are neither malleable nor ductile.
2. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
2. Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity.(except graphite which is a good conductors of electricity).
3. Metals are lustrous.
3. Non-metals are non-lustrous.
4. Metals are strong .They have high tensile strength.(except sodium and potassium which are not strong and have low tensile strength).
4. Non-metals are not strong.They have low tensile strength.
