Question

differentiate between metals and nonmetals based on malleability and electricity conductivity
​

Answer 1

Answer:

malleability ;

#metals : they can easily be converted into any shape

#nonmetals : they are very fragile and can easily break

electricity conductivity ;

#metals : they can easily conduct electricity and pass it all throughout the body

#nonmetals : they cannot conduct electricity (exception : graphite )

Answer 2

Difference on the basis of malleability and electricity conductivity:-

(i)All metals are generally malleable such as gold and silver which is most malleable(Property of metals that that they can be beaten into thin sheets) while non-metals are brittle and cannot be beaten into thin sheets as they will be crushed into pieces.

(ii)All metals generally conduct electricity as they are good conductors of electricity such as copper, gold, and silver while metals are not good conductors of electricity, exception is graphite which is a good conductor of electricity.
