How do you differentiate a metal from a nonmetal using instrument?

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.
