​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals have lustre or shine metals are good conductor of heat

Explanation:

Non metals do not have lustrous or shine non metals are poor conductor of heat

Answer 2

Answer:

Three differences between metals and non-metals are:

• Metals are malleable and ductile while non-metals are brittle.
• Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity while non-metals are not.
• Metals are lustrous while non-metals are rather dull.

Explanation:

Metals and non-metals have varying physical and chemical properties.

Most of the metals are malleable and ductile. Non-metals are not malleable or ductile. They break easily.

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity because of the presence of free electrons. Except for graphite, all other non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity.

Metals are lustrous and can be polished. Except for iodine, all other non-metals are rather dull and cannot be polished.
