Key Differences Between Metals and Non-Metals

  1. 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.
  2. Metals are generally found in solid-state but non-metals exist in all the 3 states of matter i.e., solid, liquid and gas.
  3. Metals shows the property of malleability while non-metals are non-malleable.
  4. 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.
  5. The bond formed between metals is said to be metallic bonding. While the bond formed between two non-metals is a covalent bond.
  6. 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.
  7. Metals holds the left side position on the periodic table. But non-metals are usually found on the right side in the periodic table.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Usually, metals are referred as cations while non-metals as anions.
  11. Metals are said to be good reducing-agents. But non-metals are referred as good oxidizing-agent.
  12. Metals possess very high density in comparison to non-metals.
