Write down the differnce in the propertiesof metals to non-metals
Answers
Answer:
metals are melleable while non metals are not melleable .metals are lustrous
Answer:
➡️➡️Metals and Nonmetals are different types of materials present around us. Elements can be divided into metals and nonmetals and it is important to know whether a particular element is a metal or nonmetal. Metals (like copper and aluminium) are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals (such as phosphorus and sulfur) are insulators. Materials are distinguished as above, based on their properties.
What are Metals?
Majority elements in the periodic table are metals. This includes alkali metals, transition metals, lanthanides, actinides and alkaline earth metals. Metals are separated by nonmetals on a periodic table through a zigzag line starting from carbon, till radon. The elements between the two are phosphorus, selenium and iodine.
These elements and elements right to them in the periodic table are nonmetals. Elements present just to the left of the line are termed as semimetals or metalloids. These will have the combined properties of both metals and nonmetals.
▶️Non-metals occupy the upper right-hand portion of the periodic table. Considering the properties of non-metals it is not shiny, malleable or ductile nor are they good conductors of electricity. These properties of non-metals provide one means by which we can distinguish metals from non-metals.
Properties of Non-metals have less in common with each other than metals. Their physical and chemical properties vary widely. Some non-metals are solids and some are gases at room temperature.◀️
What are Non metals?
Very few elements in the periodic table are non-metals. These are present on the right-hand side in the periodic table. Elements that come under non-metals are sulphur, carbon, all halogens, phosphorus, hydrogen, oxygen, selenium, nitrogen and noble gases.
In the periodic table, non-metals are located left of the halogens and to the right of the metalloids. Since noble gases and halogens are also non-metals, these elements are often referred to as non-metals
➡️Physical Properties of Metals
Some physical properties of metals are listed below.
Shiny (lustrous) in nature
Metal is a good conductor of electricity and heat
Density and melting point is high
Mouldable (Malleable)
Ductile
At room temperature, it is in solid form except for mercury
Opaque
◀️Properties of Non-Metals
Physical Properties of Non-metals
Some physical properties of non-metals are listed below.
Poor conductors of electricity and heat
Non-Ductile metals
Brittle solids
Maybe solids, liquids or gases at room temperature
These are not sonorous
