Question

How would you differentiate between a metals and a non-metal.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Another difference is that metals tend to lose their valence electrons, but non-metals share or gain valence electrons. ... While metals are good conductors of electricity and heat, non-metals are poor conductors. Unlike non-metals, metals are ductile, which means they can be stretched into wires

Answer 2

Explanation:

metals :1.metals have a lusture

2.metals are generally

electropositive

3.metals are good conductors of

heat and electricity

4.metals are usually solid at

ordinary temperature

5.metals are malleable and

ductile have high density and

reflect light

Non metals:

1.non metals do not have a

lusture

2.nonmetals are generally

electronegative

3.generally non metals are bad

conductors of heat and

electricity

4.nonmetals are usually in

gaseous or solid state at

ordinary temperature

5.non metals are not malleable

and ductile have low density

and do not reflect light
