Metals are usually more conductive. They have higher boiling and melting points, and lower electronegativity than other elements. Also, Metals are malleable and ductile, whereas non metals are not.

∙ 12y agoGenerally speaking, they can be characterized by these properties:
Metallic:
- high electrical conductivity
- high thermal conductivity
- higher density
- malleable/ductile (can be shaped without breaking)
- opaque, shiny and lustrous
- high melting points & high boiling points
Non-Metallic:
- low electrical conductivity
- low thermal conductivity
- lower density
- brittle
- dull
- low melting points and low boiling points

∙ 12y agoMetals are lustrous (shiny), are good conductors of heat and electricity, are malleable (can be hammered) and ductile (can be drawn into a wire). Non-metals do not have luster, are not good conductors of heat or electricity, and tend to be brittle.

∙ 9y agoThere are a handful of properties that distinguish metals from non-metals. The most important characteristic is that metals conduct electricity and non-metals do not.

Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
Nonmetals.
Do non metals have a wide range of chemical properties?
Yes, nonmetals (excepting noble gases) are reactive chemical elements.
What are the different categories are the elements put into?
Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids which are elements that have some of the same properties as metals but not all properties to make them a metal
Do metaloids contain metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Element that has both properties of metals and nonmetals?
The elements that show properties of both metals and nonmetals are referred to as metalloids and include, boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, polonium, tellurium, and antimony.
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
When is metal not a metal?
Metals have luster ,they are electric and heat conductors , moreover they have high melting and boiling points.This properties will distinguish it from nonmetals.
Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
What is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
What is an element whose physical properties are generally opposite to metals?
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
What are the properties of metalloids?
i think they have properties of both metals and nonmetals .
Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
The elements that lack most of the properties of metals are called?
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
Nonmetals.
Does noble gas have some properties of both meals and nonmetals?
Not of metals. Only the properties of non metals
What is a element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals?
BoronSiliconGermaniumArsenicAntimonyTelluriumPolonium
