Answer:

Physical properties of metals:

1)Shiny (lustrous) in nature

2)Metal is a good conductor of electricity and heat

3)Density and melting point is high

4)Malleable or can be beaten into different shapes

5)Ductile

6)Are generally opaque

7)At room temperature, it is in solid form except for mercury

8)Are sonorous or make a ringing noise.

Physical properties of non-metals:

1)Are not lustrous

2)Poor conductors of electricity and heat

3)Density and melting point isn't generally high

4)Hard but aren't malleable as they break easily

5)Non-Ductile

6)Generally Transparent

7)Maybe solids, liquids or gases at room temperature

8)These are not sonorous

Chemical properties of metals:

1)Easily corrodible

2)Can lose electrons

3)Form basic oxides

4)Good reducing agents.

Chemical properties of non-metals:

1)Takes time to corrode.

2)Easily gain or lose valence electrons

3)Form acidic oxides whenever they come in contact with oxygen

4)Great oxidising agents.

EXAMPLES OF METALS: Copper(Cu) ; Iron(Fe) ; Aluminium(Al)

EXAMPLES OF NON-METALS: Carbon (C) ; Oxygen(O) ; Bromine(Br)

Hope this helps and please select as the brainliest answer!:))
