Metals & Non-Metals
Metals
Ductility
Metals are ductile since they can be drawn into thin wires
Eg: Aluminium and Copper
Malleability
Metals are malleable since they can be beaten into thin sheets
Eg:Aluminium
Sonority
Metals are sonorous as they produce a ringing sound
Eg:Silver
Lustrous
Metals are lustrous because they are shiny in nature
Eg:Gold
Hard
Metals are hard in texture
Eg: Tungsten
Heat
Metals are also good conductors of heat
Eg: Brass
Electricity
Metals are good conductors of electricity
Eg: Silver
Metals react with Oxygen to form metal oxides
Metals react with water to form metal hydroxides
Metals react with acids to form hydrogen gases
Metals react with bases to form hydrogen gases as well
Non-Mentals
soft
they are not hard
dull
they are dull
eg- coal
poor conductors
they are poor conductors of heat and electricity
not sonorous
they dont produce ringing sounds
not ductile
they cannot be drawn into thin wires
not malleable
non-metals cannot be beaten into thin sheets
generally not lustrous
they have no shine
Non-metals react with bases to form salts
Non-metals react with acids to form salt and hydrogen gas
Non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic oxides
Non-metals react with water to form hydrogen gas
