The difference between metal and non metal , properties of non metal and non metal and plastic . Physical characteristics of the metal and plastic
Answers
Explanation:
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity but non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metals are ductile in nature i.e. it can be drawn into thin wires. But non-metals are not ductile. Metals are malleable but non-metals are not malleable.

✷ Definition Of Metal
Metals are materials holding or possessing the characteristics of being shiny, hard, fusible, malleable, ductile, etc. Few examples of metal
✷ Properties of Metals
Shiny (lustrous) in nature
Metal is a good conductor of electricity and heat
Density and melting point is high
Mouldable (Malleable)
Ductile
At room temperature, it is in solid form except for mercury
Opaque
✷ Definition Of Non Metals
Non – metals are materials not holding the characteristics of metals, means they are not shiny, hard, fusible, malleable, ductile, etc. Few examples of non – metals are carbon, oxygen, Sulphur, etc.
✷ Properties of Non-Metals
Poor conductors of electricity and heat
Non-Ductile metals
Brittle solids
Maybe solids, liquids or gases at room temperature
These are not sonorous
