Answer 1

Answer:

metals

rigid

brittle

sonorus

good conductor of heat and electricity

non metals

not rigid

non brittle

non sonorus

not good conductor of heat and electricity

Answer 2

Metals-

• They have high melting and boiling point.
• They are good conductor of heat and electricity.
• They are solid at room temperature (mercury is liquid).
• They are malleable and ductile.
• They are sonorous in nature.

Non-metal-

• They have low melting and boiling point.
• They are bad conductor of heat.
• They are solid and gaseous at room temperature (bromine is liquid).
• They are non-malleable and non-ductile.
• They are brittle.
