Question

Explain properties of metals and non metals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Physical Properties of Nonmetals

Physical State: Most of the non-metals exist in two of the three states of matter at room temperature: gases (oxygen) and solids (carbon). ... Non-Malleable and Ductile: Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets.

Answer 2

Answer:

PROPERTIES OF METALS:-

• These are lustrous (shine).

• They conduct heat and electricity.

• All metals are malleable and ductile.

• They are sonorous.

• All metals are hard except sodium and potassium.

• All metals are solids at room temperature except mercury which is a liquid.

PROPERTIES OF NON METALS:-

• These are dull in appearance.

• They are poor conductors of heat and electricity except diamond which is a good conductor of heat and graphite which is a good conductor of electricity.

• They are neither malleable nor ductile.

• They are generally soft except diamond which is the hardest natural substance known.

• They may be solids, liquids or gases at room temperature.
