Physical Properties of Metals:
Metals can be hammered into thin sheets. It means they possess the property of malleability.
Metals are ductile. They can be drawn into wires.
Metals are a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Metals are lustrous which means they have a shiny appearance.
Metals have high tensile strength. It means they can hold heavy weights.
Metals are sonorous. It means when we strike them, they make a ringing sound.

Answer:
Metals Non-metals
Metals have lustre. Mercury and gallium are an exception. Non-metals do not have lustre, Iodine and diamond are exceptions.
Metals are solids at room temperature. Mercury is an exception being liquid. Non-metals are either solid or gaseous. Bromine is an exception being in a liquid state.
Metals generally possess the property of hardness. Non-metals do not possess the property of hardness.
They are ductile and malleable. They are non-ductile and malleable.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity except graphite.
