Question

write the physical and chemical properties of metal​

Answer 1

Answer:

●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

●Chemical Properties of Metals

• Some chemical properties of metals are listed below.

• Easily corrodible

• Can lose electrons

• Form basic oxides

• Have low electronegativities

• Good reducing agents

• 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

• Transparent

●Chemical Properties of Non-metals

• Some chemical properties of non-metals are listed below.

• The number of electrons in the outer shell is generally 4-8

• Easily gain or lose valence electrons

• Form acidic oxides whenever they come in contact with oxygen

• High electronegative elements

• Great oxidizing agents
