Question

differentiate physical properties of metals and nonmetals

Answer 1

There are many differences like physical and chemical . like metals are generally hard , sonorus, ductile ,lustorus ,malleable etc and non metals are soft non malleable and non ductile. Metals have generally high melting point and boiling point.and they are good conductors of heat and electricity.

hope its help......

Answer 2

Physical properties of metals

Shiny (lustrous) in nature

Metal is a good conductor of electricity and heat

Density and melting point is high

Mouldable (Malleable)

Ductile

At room temperature, it is in solid form except for mercury

Opaque

Chemical properties of metals

Easily corrodible

Can lose electrons

Form basic oxides

Have lower electronegativities

Good reducing agents

Physical properties of non-metals

Poor conductors of electricity and heat

Non-Ductile metals

Brittle solids

Maybe solids, liquids or gases at room temperature

These are not sonorous

Transparent

Chemical properties of non-metals

The number of electrons in the outer shell is generally 4-8

Easily gain or lose valence electrons

Form acidic oxides whenever they come in contact with oxygen

High electronegative elements

Great oxidizing agents
