Question

what is the difference between metal and non metal

Answer 1

Those elements which have the tendency of donating electrons, and have some special qualities such as malleability, ductileness, metallic lusture and electric conductance are called Metals.
Example=> Iron, Gold, Silver etc.



Those elements which have the tendency of receiving electrons and do not have physical properties like metals are called Non-Metals.
Example=> Nitrogen, Sulphur, Chlorine etc.

METALS

▪️They are melleable and ductile.

▪️They are good conductors of heat and electricity.

▪️They are sonorous.

▪️They are lustrous.

▪️They are hard.

▪️They are solid at room temperature.

▪️They have high density.

▪️They hav high melting and boiling point.

Examples :−

• Copper, Aluminium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron,etc.

NON−METALS

▪️They are neither melleable nor ductile.

▪️They are poor/bad conductors of heat and electricity.

▪️They are not sonorous.

▪️They are dull.

▪️They are soft.

▪️It may be solid,liquid or gas.

▪️They have low density.

▪️They have low melting and boiling point.

Examples :−

• Sulphur, Carbon, Oxygen, Phosphorus,etc.
