Answer:
MAIN POINTS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALS AND NON-METALS
Metals Non-Metals
Metals are malleable and ductile. .Non- metals are brittle (break easily). They are neither malleable nor ductile.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity. Except for graphite which is a good conduction of electricity.
Metals are lustrous and can be polished.
Non-metals are non-lustrous (dull) and cannot be polished. Except for iodine
Metals are solids at room temperature.Except for mercury which is a liquid metal. Non-metals may be solid, liquid or gases at the room temperature.
Metals are strong and tough. Non-metals are not strong or tough
Explanation:
please mark as brainliest
metal:1. metal have luster
non-metal:1. non-metal not have luster
metal:2.metal are good conducter of electricity
non-metal:2.non metal is bad conducter of electricity
metal:3. ex.steel,copper, aluminium;etc
non-metal:3. ex. plastic,wood,glass;etc
