2. this element conduct heat and electricity .
3. this element has a high melting point .
4. this element is electropositive in nature (hence conducts electricity) .
5. this element is solid at room temperature.

Non - metallic element :-

1. this element do not conduct electricity and heat .
2. this element is electronegative in nature (hens gain electrons) .
3. this element is brittle in nature (can be broken into pieces) .
4. this element display a wide range of chemical properties and reactivities .
5. this element forms acidic oxide .
