Question

give the basic properties of metal and Non-metals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metal Physical Properties:

Lustrous (shiny)

Good conductors of heat and electricity.

High melting point.

High density (heavy for their size)

Malleable (can be hammered)

Ductile (can be drawn into wires)

Usually solid at room temperature (an exception is mercury)

Opaque as a thin sheet (can't see through metals)

Metal Chemical Properties:

Have 1-3 electrons in the outer shell of each metal atom and lose electrons readily

Corrode easily (e.g., damaged by oxidation such as tarnish or rust)

Lose electrons easily

Form oxides that are basic

Fave lower electronegativities

Are good reducing agents
