Question

write any 5 difference between metals and non metals​

Answer 1

Difference between metals and non-metals:-

difference on the basis of physical properties :-

METALS:-

1) all metals are solid at room temperature except mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature.

2) all metals are lustrous.

3) metals have high densities except lithium, soduim and potassium.

4) metals are malleable (can be beaten into thin sheets).

5) metals are ductile (can be drwn into wires).

6) they are good conductors of heat and electricity.

7) they have high melting point.

NON-METALS :-

1) non-metals exists as solid, liquid and gas.

silicon is a solid, bromine is a liquid and oxygen is a gas.

2) non-metals are non-lustrous.

3) they have low density.

4) they are non-malleable.

5) they have low melying and boiling point.

6) they are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

7) they are non-ductile.

Answer 2

5 difference between metals and non - metals are:-

Metals

1. it is good conductor of electricity.
2. it can be form into a sheet.
3. it is hard.
4. it have property of good conductor of heat.
5. it have high tensile strength and lustre

Non - metals

1. bad conductor of electricity.
2. it cannot be form into sheet.
3. it is easily broken and not harder than metal .
4. it has property of bad conductor of heat.
5. it have low tensile strength.
