Metals are good electrical and heat conductors. They are malleable, ductile, and generally solid at room temperature. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They form brittle solids and are nonductile. They are generally liquids or gases at room temperature.
Metal is metal. Nonmetal is everything else.
one of them cannot conduct heat
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
Lignite is a non-metallic substance.
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
The substance that results when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal consists of ionic bonds, and the substance's melting point also is high. When electrons are transferred from metal to nonmetal, ionic bonds are formed. However, when electrons are shared between two nonmetals, covalent bonds are formed.

An ionic compound is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion. The metal ion donates electrons to the nonmetal ion, forming a stable electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ion and the negatively charged nonmetal ion. This results in the formation of a lattice structure in the solid state.
