Metals
Metals have lustre
They are generally hard in nature ,except for sodium and potassium
They form basic compounds
They are sonorous
They are good conductors of heat and electricity
They are generally malleable and ductile .
Examples are gold, silver,iron
Non metals
They can generally be crushed by hand .
They are not sonorous
They form acidic compounds
They are not generally good conductors or heat or electricity
They are not very malleable or ductile
Examples are carbon,oxygen ,nitrogen
Note : the above mentioned differences are general differences ,so keep in mind that there are always exceptions .Take the case of diamond ,which is a non metal ,
Yet it is the hardest substance on earth (naturally occurring )
So writing detailed differences for such a topic isn't possible
