What are the similarities and differences between metals and metalloids and non metals?
The electrons in a metal can leave the atom and move about in the metal as free electrons. While atoms in non-metals are bonded. Heat energy is passed along by vibartions as the bonds between the non-metals atoms are shaken. Conduction in metals is faster than in non-metals. Making metals good conductors and making non-metals poor conductors.
What metals and non metals are used in computers and electronic devices?
sulphur
Can color or be used to distinguish metals from non metals?
no, you can not use color to distinguish if something is metal or non-metal
Uses of metals and non-metals?
Used as insulating material around wire cables since they do not conduct electricity. Used to make pan handles as they are poor conductors of heat. Used to make pan handles as they are poor conductors of heat.
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Which non-metals is used in making pencil lead?
They are mostly made of graphite which is a stable form of carbon :)

Can homogeneity be used to distinguish metals from non metals?
No, it can not be used. Every element has colour homogeneity.
Can homogenity be used to distinguish metals from non metals?
No. Every element is homogeneous.
Could a magnet be used to sort six different materials into metals and non metals?
No, some metals (Aluminum and Gold, etc.) are non-magnetic.
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals
Can color or be used to distinguish metals from non metals?
no, you can not use color to distinguish if something is metal or non-metal
Why are bells not made of non metals?
Metals have the property of producing a ringing sound when struck. Therefore, metals are sonorous and have the property of "Sonority". Non-metals however, are not sonorous and hence are not used in bells. :D

Classes of elements?
Metals, non metals and metaloids (which have some of the properties of both metals and non metals).
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
