Question

What is the defination of metal and non metal by their chemical property?

Answer 1

Metal Chemical Properties have 1-3 electrons in the outer shell of each metal atom corrode easily (e.g., damaged by oxidation such as tarnish or rust) lose electrons easily form oxides that are basic have lower electronegativities are good reducing agents Nonmetal Chemical Properties usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shell readily gain or share valence electrons do not corrode easily form oxides that are acidic have higher electronegativities are good oxidizing agents

Answer 2

Explanation:

Graphite exhibits both metallic and non-metallic properties. The metallic properties include thermal and electrical conductivity, while the non-metallic properties include inertness, high thermal resistance, and lubricity.
