Good conductors of electricity Poor conductors of electricity
Good conductors of heat Poor conductors of heat
High density Low density
Malleable and ductile Brittle
Physical properties of non metals-
non-metals are poor conductor of heat and electricity
At room temperature, they may be solids liquids or gases.
They are transparent and non ductile.
Chemical properties of non metals-
They can easily gain electrons
They are high electronegative elements.
The number of electrons in the outer shell is generally 4−7.
Physical properties of metals-
Metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity
At room temperature, it is in solid form except mercury.
They are opaque and ductile.
Chemical properties of metals-
They have low electronegativities.
They can lose electrons.
They are good reducing agents.
