Answer:
Metals are more lustrous (shiny), malleable (ability to be rolled into thin sheets without breaking), ductile (ability to be pulled into thin wires without breaking), they are usually harder (generally, not including the alkali or alkaline earth metals), usually a solid at room temperature (mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature), and usually high boiling and melting points. They also have the tendency to lose electrons to gain a positive charge. Nonmetals, however, are dull (not shiny), brittle (breaks easily), usually a gas or liquid at room temperature, and have low melting and boiling points. Nonmetals often gain electrons to have a negative charge when bonding in ionic bonds.
Hope this helps. If you need anything cleared up or need more info, please let me know.
