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.

What is the differences of metal and nonmetal?
Metal is metal. Nonmetal is everything else.
What is the chemical differences between the metal and nonmetal characteristics of an object?
one of them cannot conduct heat
What bond is between a metal and a metal?
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
Is lignite a metal or nonmetal?
Lignite is a non-metallic substance.
Is germanium the element a metal or nonmetal?
Germanium is neither. It is a metalliod, because it has some properties of a metal and some properties of a nonmetal. However, the substance of germanium is a metal.
What is a ionic a nonmetal or metal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
Is ionic bonds a metal or nonmetal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
Substance that results when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal?
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.
What is a chemical formula of a substance?
SO2no it is BeF2 because molecular formulas have a metal and a nonmetal
How do you moving an electron from the metal to the non metal What happens?
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
Is a base a compound that forms metal and nonmetal ions when it dissolves in water?
No, a base is a substance that raises pH when added to water. While some bases do indeed release metal and nonmetal ions, many do not, and many that release metal/nonmetal ions are not bases.
Is gold a semimetal?
No it is a metal. Not a semimetal. A semimeatal is in between metal and nonmetal.
