In general, metals are relatively good conductors of electricity and heat, can be found alloyed with other metals of similar density at "non-integer" proportions (the bonding between atoms is neither ionic nor covalent), and they have high reflectivity to light of all wavelengths (part and parcel of being a good conductor). Usually has good ductility, allowing some deformation without breakage (but so do plastics).
When a metal reacts with oxygen, it forms a metal oxide which is basic in nature. This can be distinguished from a non-metal oxide, which is acidic in nature. This difference in the nature of oxides can be used to identify whether a substance is a metal or non-metal.
Metals are listed on the “left hand side” of the periodic table, while non-metals are on the “right hand side
Yes, color can be used to distinguish metals from nonmetals. Generally, metals have a characteristic metallic luster or shine, while nonmetals can appear dull or have a wide range of colors depending on the element. Conductivity and malleability are other properties that can help distinguish between metals and nonmetals.
One physical test that can be used to distinguish between a metal element and a non-metal element is the ability to conduct electricity. Metals generally conduct electricity well, whereas non-metals are poor conductors. Another test is the luster or appearance - metals are usually shiny and have a metallic luster, while non-metals are dull in appearance.
Nonmetals are gases (Cl, Ar, N...), liquids (Br) or solids brittle and with a very low hardness (S, P, Se..).
work operationally is a reflex action base on work
A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
you should use a streak test this will use color streaks to show metal should be white non metal will be a darkish color like the material
