Question

state the physical properties of metals and non metals with respect to the following points:
(i) physical state (ii) lustre (iii) ductility and malleability (iv) conduction of heat and electricity (v) hardness (vi)melting and boiling points.​

Answer 1

Answer:

*metals

they are mostly in solid state (except mercury)

very lustrous

electro positive in nature and can conduct electricity

ductile and sometimes even malleable

has high melting and boiling points

*nonmetals

any state

not very lustrous

most are brittle and ductile

lesser conductivity of heat and electricity

comparatively less melting and boiling points

hope it helps
