Question

Lead of pencil is made of graphite which is non metal and the handle of the door is made of iron ,a metal . How will you differentiate between a non metal and metal on the basis of their physical properties (give two points of difference)

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Metal conducts electricity. 2.Metals are hard except graphite.3.Metals are lustrous and ductile.

1.Non metals doesn't conducts electricity.2.Non metals are comparatively less hard than metals(except diamond).3.Non metals are not lustrous and ductile.

Answer 2

Explanation:

the difference between metal and non metal on the basis of their physical properties.

• metals are malleable, which means it can be beaten to thin sheets. On the other hand, non-metals are very brittle. ...

• While metals are good conductors of electricity and heat, non-metals are poor conductors
