Question

Write down any 5 differences between metals and non metals.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

Answer 2

☯ Elements are divided into metals and non - metals on the basis of their physical and chemical properties.

⠀⠀

Metals: Metals are the substances which have the tendency to donate electrons .They are electropositive in nature.

Non-metals: Non - metals are the substances which have the tendency to accept electrons. They are electronegative in nature.
