$\huge \fbox \red{ᎪŇSᎳᎬᏒ}$

Metals shows the property of malleability while non-metals are non-malleable. Metals are generally those substances that have a shiny surface and thus are lustrous. Whereas non-metals have non-shiny appearance and thus falls under the category of non-lustrous substances.

Metals generally have high density. Nonmetals generally have low density. ... Nonmetals are non-sonorous as they do not produce a ringing sound when hit by an object. Metals generally have high melting and boiling point except for sodium and potassium.

Metals refers to the natural elements that are hard, shiny, opaque and dense. Non-metals implies those chemical substances that are soft, non-shiny, transparent and brittle. Most metals are hard, except sodium. Most non-metals are soft, except diamond.

Examples of metals: iron, copper, gold, aluminium, silver, calcium etc. Solid non-metals are soft and dull. They break down into a powdery mass on tapping with a hammer. For example, coal and sulphur.
