Metals are malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets), ductile (can be drawn through wires), lustrous (shining), sonorous (give a ringing sound when hit), excellent conductors of heat and electricity, have high melting and boiling points and are usually solid at room temperature.

Nonmetals are non-malleable, non ductile, dull colored, give a dull sound when hit, insulators or bad conductors of heat and electricity, have low melting and boiling points and are found in all three states of matter, that are, solid, liquid and gas.

Substances having both metallic and nonmetallic features are called metalloids.

Both have electrons, protons, and neutrons. moreover they both make ionic bonds with eachother.

Like nonmetals, metalloids tend to be brittle rather than malleable.

Why do metals replace hydrogen from acid but non metals do not?

This is because metals have positive ions and so does hydrogen. Hence the nature of their reactivity is same but the value of reactivity is different. Therefore metals replace hydrogen in a reaction while non metals dont...


Would you expect metals or nonmetals in the same periods to have higher ionization energies?

Non-metals have higher ionization energies within the same period. This is because non-metals want to gain electrons to be able to be like the nearest noble gas.
