Properties Of Metals And Non-Metals
Properties of Metals and Non-Metals:
Metals:
- Metals are generally shiny and lustrous.
- They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
- Metals are malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets) and ductile (can be drawn into thin wires).
- Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides, which are usually basic in nature.
Non-Metals:
- Non-metals are usually dull and lackluster.
- They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- Non-metals are brittle and cannot be hammered into sheets or drawn into wires.
- Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metal oxides, which are usually acidic in nature.
These properties help distinguish metals from non-metals and play a crucial role in their applications in various fields.
