Distinguish between metals and non metals.(any four)
please
Answers
Answer:
Metals are opaque, lustrous elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most metals are malleable and ductile and are, in general, denser than the other elemental substances.
Metals are used in:
- Transportation -- Cars, buses, trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes.
In chemistry, a nonmetal (or non-metal) is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. A nonmetal is typically brittle when solid and usually has poor thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Chemically, nonmetals tend to have relatively high ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. They gain or share electrons when they react with other elements and chemical compounds. Seventeen elements are generally classified as nonmetals: most are gases (hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon and radon); one is a liquid (bromine); and a few are solids (carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and iodine). Metalloids such as boron, silicon, and germanium are sometimes counted as nonmetals.

Answer:
Metals:
1) Metals are malleable.
2) Metals are Ductile.
3)Metals are Sonorous.
4)Metals are good conductors of heat
Non- Metals:
1)Non- Metals are not malleable.
2) Non-Metals are not ductile.
3)Non-Metals are not Sonorous.
4) Non-Metals are not good conductors of heat.
Explanation:
* Malleability: Property of metals that they can be beaten into sheets.
* Ductility: Property of metal that they can be formed into wires.
Sonority: Property of metal that they can produce a continuous sound.
