Answer:
metal is sonorous
non metal is not sonorous
metal is lustrous
non metal is dull
Answer:
Nonmetal-It generally exists in all 3 forms of matter i.e., solid, liquid and gas. Non-metals in solid form are generally soft and thus completely gets converted into powdered mass after the application of force on it. Thus are said to possess brittle nature.
But diamond is again an exception over here because it is one of the hardest substances hence are not brittle. Non-metals holds 4, 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outermost shell thus usually have a tendency to accept electrons. Thus it forms anions. These elements exhibit a low degree of melting and boiling point. However, non-metals like silicon and carbon have high melting and boiling point
Explanation:
Metal-The reason behind this is that metals have free electrons present in their structure. And these free electrons vibrate when then the surface is exposed to light and thus appears as a shiny surface. However, lead stands as an exception for this particular property because lead is a metal with a dull appearance.
Metals are usually found in solid-state but mercury is an exception as it is a metal present in liquid form. Along with this, sodium and potassium are the metals that can be cut down with a knife without any sort of great force as these substances are not too hard.
Metals can be easily transformed into thin sheets and thus are said to be malleable. Furthermore, metals can be converted into thin long wires hence shows ductility. Also when the metal surface is hit with great force then a ringing sound gets produced thereby showing sonorous behaviour.
