Question

Write 7 differences between metals and non metals ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Differences between Metals and Non-Metals is

• Metals are generally solids due to their high melting point whereas Non-Metals exist in all three states.
• Metals are generally malleable whereas nonmetals are generally brittle.
• Metals are ductile whereas non metals and not ductile
• Metals are good conductors of electricity whereasnon metals are bad conductors of electricity.
• Metals possess lustre whereas nonmetals lack lusture.
• Metals are hard whereas non metals are generally soft.
• Metals have high tensile strength whereas non metals have low tensile strength.
• Metals are sonours whereas non metals are non sonours.
• Metals from positive ions whereas non metals from negative ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals                                  Non-metals

These are shiny                  These are non-lustrous except iodine

Electropositive in nature Electronegative in nature

etal is a good

conductor of electricity and heat

Density and melting point is high

Mouldable (Malleable)

Ductile

At room temperature, i

Opaque                                                 Poor conductors of electricity and heat

it is in solid form except for mercury                                                Non-form except for mercury Ductile metals

                                                     Brittle solids

                                              Maybe solids, liquids or gases at room                                                                                       temperature

                                              These are not sonorous

                                               Transparent
