Physical Properties of Metals and Non-metals
Metals
Physical state
They are solids at room temperature. (exception – mercury, gallium).
Appearance
They have lustre.
Hardness
They are hard.
Sonority
They are sonorous (can produce sound).
Malleability
They can be beaten up into sheets.
Ductility
They can be drawn into wires.
Electrical conductivity
They are good conductors of electricity.
Thermal conductivity
They are good conductors of heat.
Non-Metals
Appearance
They do not have lustre.
Sonority
They do not produce sound.
Physical state
They exist in all three states (solids, liquids, gases).
Hardness
They are usually brittle.
Ductility
They cannot be drawn into wires.
Malleability
They cannot be beaten up into sheets.
Thermal conductivity
They are poor conductors of heat.
Electrical conductivity
They are poor conductors of electricity.
