Metals are made up of atoms which are joined together tightly in a the solid state. Metals are having free electrons around atoms which are the ones that carry the heat energy or electrical energy for one end to the other.

How do solid nonmetals differ from solid metals?

Solid nonmetals typically have lower melting points and boiling points compared to solid metals. Nonmetals tend to be brittle in their solid state, while metals are malleable and ductile. Additionally, nonmetals are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity, whereas metals are good conductors.


How are solid nonmetals different from metals?

Solid nonmetals tend to be brittle, have lower melting/boiling points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metals, on the other hand, are generally malleable, have higher melting/boiling points, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.

What is an explanation of the characteristic's of metals?

Some properties of metals are: they are good heat conductors, they have a high melting point, they react with oxygen to make oxides, all metals, but mercury, are solid at room temperatures, they are positive when they form ions, they have a high density.Metals are usually shiny, malleable, and hard. They also are good conductors of electricity.
