Physical and chemical properties change as the result of a chemical change, which produces new products with different physical and chemical properties than the reactants.
A wide variety of elements fall under the classification of non metals and have different properties. In contrast to metals, though, they are worse conductors and are dull in their solid state. They also tend to have lower densities and lower boiling points than metals.
The chemical and physical properties of a compound are different than those of the elements from which it is formed.
physical change
No, being good energy conductors is a physical property of some metals, not a chemical property. Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances and undergoes chemical reactions, while physical properties describe the characteristics and behavior of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
The properties of nonmetals also tend to vary more from and element to element than do the properties of the metals

Elements that are classified as non-metals are characterized by a tendency to undergo chemical reactions in which they acquire electrons; this compares to metals which tend to lose electrons. In slightly more technical terms, this means that non-metals are oxidizing agents and metals are reducing agents; when you mix metals and non-metals together, they tend to react with each other, in what is sometimes called a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation). Other than that, non-metals are generally softer (or gaseous) and less shiny than metals are, they generally do not conduct electricity as well as metals do, they do not have the silvery color of metals.
Non-metals are much more diverse than metals, however, they all have some similar physical properties. Non-metals are not good conductors of heat or electricity. Solids are usually brittle, non-ductile, not shiny, and at least partially transparent or translucent.
Yes...It shows some properties similar to metals, some to non-metals, and some totally different than these two..!!
magnesium is not a metal but a reactive metal. scientists have divided all elements into two types of category: metals and non-metals to classify them as they have different chemical and physical properties. magnesium has properties of a metal so it is a metal.

Each metal has its own specific set of properties. Some metals are better conductors than others. Some metals have higher melting temperatures than others, there is even a metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature, that metal is called Mercury. Same metals are more malleable than others. They also differ in weights, in density.

A chemical reaction will result in a product with not only chemical properties (which are different than the reactants), but also physical properties (which are also different from the reactants).
they are harder than alkali metals
