4. they are brittle..
5. they don't show lustureous.

Answer 2

Any substance which have lusture, melliiability, sonority, ductility and weight, hardness are called metals. Metals have weight, they shine, can be converted into wires and they are very hard.
Any substance which don't have lusture, melliability, sonority, ductility, weight and hardness are called non metals. Non metals don't have shine, can't be converted into wires, they are not sonorous, they are not heavy and they are soft as compared to metals are called non metals.
