Answer 2

difference difference between metal and nonmetal on the basis of physical nature:

$metal$

• All metals are solid at room temperature expect Mercury, which is liquid at room temperature.
• All metals are lustrous.
• Metals have high density expect lithium (li) sodium(Na) and potassium(K).
• Metal are malleable. (can be beaten into thin sheets).
• Metals are ductile.(can be drawn into wires)
• They are good conductor of heat and electricity.

$non - metal$

• Non-Metal exist as liquid gas and solid.silicon is solid bromine is liquid and oxygen is a gas.
• non non metal and non lustrous.
• they have low density.
• they are non malleable.
• they have low melting and boiling point.
• they are poor conductor of heat and electricity.
• they are non ductile.

difference between metal and nonmetal on the basis of chemical nature:

$metal$

• metals metals react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.eg:- 2Na+ Cl2➜2NaCl .
• metals combine with oxygen to form metal oxides which are basic in nature.eg:-2Mg+O2➜2MgO

$non - metal$

• Non-metals form covalent bonds.
• non metals dissolve in water to form acidic solution.eg:-SO2+H2O➜H2SO3
