Question

iii.Differentiate metals and nonmetals based on their melting and boiling points.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:Metals have both high high melting point and boiling point. Non-metals have both low melting and low boiling point. They are good conductors of heat and electricity. ... All non-metal are non- malleable.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals exhibit high melting and boiling point except mercury. As against the melting and boiling point of non-metals are generally low except carbon and silicon.

Explanation:

Metals have the highest boiling and melting points because they have the strongest chemical bonds which are metallic while Non metal are poor conductor of heat or electricity compare to metals with high boiling point and freezing , they are bond together by weak bond resulting in to their low melting or freezing point.
