Explain the physical and chemical properties of metal and non metal
Answers
physical properties of metals and non metals and also chemical properties
METAL
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METAL-
Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. ... Valency: Metals typically have 1 to 3 electrons in the outermost shell of their atoms. Conduction: Metals are good conductors because they have free electrons.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF METAL-
The density of metals is usually high.
Metals are malleable and ductile.
Metals form an alloy with other metals or non – metals.
Some metals react with air and corrode. ...
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. ...
Generally, metals are in a solid state at room temperature.
NON-METALS
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF NONMETALS-
Physical Properties of Nonmetals. ... Non-Malleable and Ductile: Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. Conduction: They are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Luster: These have no metallic luster and do not reflect light.
chemical properties of nonmetals
Chemical Property of Non Metals:
Usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shell.
Gain or share valence electrons easily.
Form oxides that are acidic.
Are good oxidizing agents.
Have higher electromagnetism.
