Question

state 8 differences between metals and non metals

Answer 1

1. metals are good conductor of heat and electricity
non metals are bad conductors
2. metals are lustrous
non metals are not lustrous
3. metals are ductile means they are flexible
nonmetals are non ductiles
4. metals mostly share the electrons
nonmetals mostly recieve the electrons
5. metals are hard
non metals are soft
6. metals have high melting and boiling points
non metals have less melting amd boiling points
7. metals forms ionic bonds
non metals form covalent bonds

Answer 2

Hey friend here is your answer


Metals

1. Elements which loose electrons to acquire a positive charge are called metals
2. They are electropositive
3. They are ductile i,e they can be drawn into wires
4. They are malleable i,e can be beaten into thin sheets
5. They are hard and strong
6. They are shiny and lustrous i,e they have a metallic shine
7. They are sonorous
8. They are solid at room temperature
9 they are good conductors of heat and electricity
10.. They react with oxygen to form metal oxide which are basic in nature


Non metals

1.Elements which loose electrons to acquire negative charge are called non-metals.
2.They are electronegative.
3.They are non ductile i,e they cannot be drawn into wires.
4.They are non malleable.
5.They are usually soft.
6.They are usually dull.
7.They are non sonorous
8.They are solid or gas at room temprature.
9.They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
10.They react with oxygen to form non metal oxide which are acidic in nature.



Examples of metal- sodium,potassium.
Non metal- chlorine,nitrogen.
