Question

differentiate between metals and non metals on the basis of physical properties ​

Answer 1

$\textbf{\huge{\underline{Answer:}}}$

Difference between Metals and Non-Metals on the basis of Physical Properties :

$\bold{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\tt{Physical\:State:}}}}}$

$\star$ Metals : All metals(except Mercury,which is liquid) are solid at room temperature. Ex - Iron,Copper,Gold e.t.c

$\star$ Non-Metals :They may exist in solid, liquid or gaseous state. Ex - Carbon,Iodine

$\bold{\boxed{\red{\boxed{\tt{Melting\:And\:Boiling\:Point :}}}}}$

$\star$ Metals : They generally have high melting as well as high boiling points. Ex - Melting Point of Iron is 1536℃ and its boiling point is 3000℃. Some metals have exceptionally low melting point. Ex - Caesium melts at only 38.7℃

$\star$ Non-Metals : They have generally low melting points as well as low boiling point. Ex - Melting point of Sulphur is 119℃. Exception in Non-Metal is Diamond It has melting point of 3723℃

$\bold{\boxed{\blue{\boxed{\tt{Density:}}}}}$

$\star$ Metals : They generally have high density. The exception case is Sodium and Potassium.

$\star$ Non-Metals : They generally have a low density.

$\bold{\boxed{\orange{\boxed{\tt{Hardness:}}}}}$

$\star$ Metals: Most Metals are very hard. They can withstand quite high pressure without getting distorted.Exception - Sodium and Potassium

$\star$ Non-Metals : Non-Metals are generally not hard; they are brittle and easily break into pieces when hammered. Exception - Diamond

$\bold{\boxed{\pink{\boxed{\tt{Lustre:}}}}}$

$\star$ Metals : They have shining surface known as Metallic Lustre.

$\star$ Non-Metals: They generally have dull appearance. Exception - Iodine

$\bold{\boxed{\purple{\boxed{\tt{Malleability:}}}}}$

$\star$ Metals : They are Malleable

$\star$ Non-Metals: They are non-Malleable.

$\bold{\boxed{\boxed{\tt{Ductility:}}}}$

$\star$ Metals : Metals are Ductile

$\star$ Non-Metals : Non-Metals are non-ductile.

$\hookrightarrow$ Few other Physical Properties are Tensile Strength, Conductivity and Sonorisity

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{AnSwEr}}}}$

Differentiation between the properties of metals and non -metals.

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\pink{Malleability:-}}}}$

✯Metals are malleable and can be converted into thin sheets.

✯Examples - Iron, Aluminium.

✯Non metals are not malleable.

✯Examples - Sulphur, carbon.

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\red{Ductility:-}}}}$

✯Metals are ductile and can be changed into thin sheets.

✯For ex - Gold,silver.

✯Non-metals are not ductile.

✯For ex - Sulphur, carbon.

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\green{Lustre:-}}}}$

✯Metals are lustrous ,they have shiny appearance.

✯example- Gold,silver.

✯Non-metals are non -lustrous ,they have a dull appearance,except Diamond and Iodine.

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\blue{Conductance\: of \: heat \: and \: electricity:-}}}}$

✯Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity.

✯Silver metal has highest thermal and electrical conductivity.

✯Non-metals are bad conductor of heat and electricity,except graphite which is a good conductor of electricity.

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\orange{Hardness:-}}}}$

✯Metals are generally hard,except sodium and potassium.

✯They both can be cut with a knife.

✯Non-metals are generally soft,except Diamond.

✯Diamond is hardest substance ever known.

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\purple{Melting \: and \: boiling \: point:-}}}}$

✯Metals generally have high melting and boiling points ,like Copper has melting point of 1083°C and iron has 1535°C ,except Caesium and gallium [low melting and boiling points.

✯Non metals have low melting point except Diamond [3723°C].

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\pink{Physical \: state:-}}}}$

✯Metals are generally found in solid state ,except Mercury which is liquid in room temperature.

✯Non metals may be solid , liquid or gas at room temperature.

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\red{Density \: and \: tensile \: strength :-}}}}$

✯Metals have high density,except sodium and potassium.

✯Non metals have low densities

♡$\large{\rm{\underline{\green{Sonority:-}}}}$

✯Metals are sonorous,they produce ringing sound.

✯Non-metals are non sonorous.
