Question

write any five diffrences between metals and non metals in the basis of their physical properties?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of electrons Contains 1,2 or 3 electrons in valence shell (except hydrogen) Contains 4, 5, 6 or 7 electrons in valence shell.

Conducting property Good conductors Bad conductors

Tensile strength High Low

Melting and Boiling point High Comparitively very low

Existence in periodic table Left side Right side

Nature Electropositive Electronegative

Bond Metallic bond Covalent bond

State Generally solid (exception mercury and gallium) Solid, liquid and gas

Density High Low

Forms Cation Anion

Malleability and Ductility These are malleable and ductile These are non-malleable and non-ductile in nature.

Structure Hard

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Some differences between metals and non-metals in the basis of their physical properties are:

• Metals have lustrous property but nonmetals doesn't have this property.
• Metals produce sounds where as non metals do not produce sounds.
• Metals conduct electricity in them but non metals cannot conduct.
