differentiate between metals and non metals in points
Answers
metals are sonorous
metals are ductile
metals are malleable
metals have high density
metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
non-metals:
they are non-sonorous
they are not ductile
they are not malleable
they don't have a high density
they are not good conductors of heat and electricity. except graphite which is a good conductor of electricity.
hope it helps

Differences on basis of chemical properties :
Ф The metals have 1,2 or 3 electrons in their outermost shell.
Ф The non-metals have only 4,5,6 or 7 electrons in their outermost shell.
Ф The metals lose electrons only.
Ф The non-metals gain electrons.
Ф The metal always has a positive charge.
Ф The non-metals has a negative charge.
Ф Metal elements form cations.
Ф Non-metal elements form anions.
Ф Metals are found abundant in the bottom of the periodic table.
Ф Non-metals are abundant at the top of the periodic table.
