Key Differences Between Metals and Non-Metals
- Metals are considered to be electropositive in nature due to their ability to donate electrons. Whereas non-metals are electronegative as they generally accept electrons.
- Metals are generally found in solid-state but non-metals exist in all the 3 states of matter i.e., solid, liquid and gas.
- Metals shows the property of malleability while non-metals are non-malleable.
- Metals are generally those substances that have a shiny surface and thus are lustrous. Whereas non-metals have non-shiny appearance and thus falls under the category of non-lustrous substances.
- The bond formed between metals is said to be metallic bonding. While the bond formed between two non-metals is a covalent bond.
- Metal possesses high tensile strength as there exists strong attraction between molecules. However, due to weak intermolecular forces, the tensile strength of non-metals is low.
- Metals holds the left side position on the periodic table. But non-metals are usually found on the right side in the periodic table.
- Metals exhibit high melting and boiling point except mercury. As against the melting and boiling point of non-metals are generally low except carbon and silicon.
- Metals show the property of ductility as can be easily drawn into wires on applying force. However, non-metals are not ductile but carbon is a non-metal that exhibits ductility.
- Usually, metals are referred as cations while non-metals as anions.
- Metals are said to be good reducing-agents. But non-metals are referred as good oxidizing-agent.
- Metals possess very high density in comparison to non-metals.
