Question

HEY GUYS
WHAT'S UP?
I AM FINE.


Tell me about the PR0PERTIES 0F "METALS" AND "NON-METALS"
PLZ EXPLAIN ​

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)

Metals are sonorous or make a bell-like sound when struck

Nonmetal Physical Properties:

Not lustrous (dull appearance)

Poor conductors of heat and electricity

Nonductile solids

Brittle solids

May be solids, liquids or gases at room temperature

Transparent as a thin sheet

Nonmetals are not sonorous

Nonmetal Chemical Properties:

Usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shell

Readily gain or share valence electrons

Form oxides that are acidic

Have higher electronegativities

Are good oxidizing agents

Answer 2

Answer:

Non-metals are brittle and break into pieces when beaten. Example: Sulphur and phosphorus. Non-metals are not ductile so, they cannot be made into thin wires. Non-metals are insulators or poor conductors of electricity and heat because they do not lose electrons to transmit the energy.

Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. Other properties include: State: Metals are solids at room temperature with the exception of mercury, which is liquid at room temperature (Gallium is liquid on hot days).
