and non metal​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals Non-metals

Good conductors of electricity Poor conductors of electricity

Good conductors of heat Poor conductors of heat

High density Low density

Malleable and ductile Brittle

Answer 2

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.
