what is mean by metal and non metal?
Answers
Answer:
A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile.
The non-metals are elements on the right of the periodic table. Non-metals can be gases, liquids or solids. Non-metals are dull in colour, not shiny like metals. ... Non-metals don't conduct electricity well: they are insulators. There is one exception: graphite is a non-metal which can conduct electricity.
Answer:
Nonmetal
Chemical series
In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that usually gains electrons when reacting with a metal, and which forms an acid if combined with oxygen and hydrogen. Nonmetals display more variety in color and state than do metals.
