Physical Properties of Metals And Non-Metals

Sure, here are the physical properties of metals and non-metals:

Metals:

1. Metals are lustrous, meaning they are shiny and reflective.
2. They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
3. Metals are malleable, which means they can be hammered into thin sheets.
4. They are also ductile, which means they can be drawn into thin wires.
5. Most metals are hard, but some like sodium and potassium are soft.
6. Metals have high melting and boiling points.

Non-Metals:

1. Non-metals are not lustrous and have a dull appearance.
2. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
3. Non-metals are not malleable or ductile, they are brittle.
4. Non-metals have low melting and boiling points.
5. They can exist in all three states of matter at room temperature, i.e., solid, liquid, and gas.
6. Non-metals are usually not as dense as metals.
