Question

write three properties of metals and nonmetals​

Answer 1

Explanation:

metals:-

• These are very hard except sodium
• These are malleable and ductile
• These are shiny
• Electropositive in nature

non metal:-

• These are soft except diamond
• These are brittle and can be breakdown into pieces
• These are non-lustrous except iodine
• Electronegative in nature

Answer 2

Answer:

METALS-

Many metals are shiny, ductile, and malleable. Most are also good conductors of heat. Electricity is a flow of electrons. Atoms of metals tend to give up electrons, explaining why they are good conductors of electricity.

Explanation:

NON METALS-

Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity.

Non-metals have low tensile strength. They are not strong and get easily broken.

Non-metals are generally brittle and hence cannot be beaten into sheets or drawn into wires
