The differences between metal and non-metals are their chemical properties. Metals usually have 1-3 electrons on their outer shells, and non metals have 4-8 electrons in their outer shells.
The differences between metal and non-metals are their chemical properties. Metals usually have 1-3 electrons on their outer shells, and non metals have 4-8 electrons in their outer shells.
There are a number of ways in which a metal can be differientiate a metal from a non-metals, these involve contrasting the properties between metals and non-metals and testing them to distinguish them from one another. Some contrasting properties between metals and non-metals: 1.) Metals conduct electricity whereas non-metals do not. 2.) Metals are shiny whereas non-metals are not. 3.) Metals are malleable whereas non-metals are brittle. 4.) Metals often have a higher boiling/melting point than non-metals. 4.) Metals are hard whereas non metals are not.
the number of electrons in the outer shell .. for metals its less than 4 .. for non metals its more than 4 .. for semi its 4
All you have to do is look on your periodic table of elements. Metals are to the left and non-metals are to the right. This way we know group four are metals.
Non-metals have 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 valence electrons, respectively.
Yes, 3 or 4 times as many elements are metallic. Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.
There are 4 non-metals in the third period of the periodic table (Phosphorous, sulfur, chlorine, and argon)
1. they are not good conductors of heat and electricity(except graphite) 2.they are not malleable (cannot be hammered into sheets). 3.they are not ductile(cannot be drawn into wires). 3.they have low densities.
1.Non-metals are mostly liquids or gases but some are found in solid state.2.Non-metals are usually non-flexible.3.It is difficult to to mold non-meats and convert them into wires and sheets.4.In non-metals atoms are bonded by covalent bonds.5.Non-metals are usually non-conductors but few of them conduct electricity.6.Non-metals are easy to cut or break.7.Non-metals do not transfer heat.8.Non-metals do not have much brightness even on polishing.9.Non-metals do not absorb light.10.Non metals are usually light in weight and have low density.11.Non-metals usually have low melting and boiling points.12.Non-metals ion bear negative charge but some bear positive charge as well e.g.Hydrogen.13.Oxides of Non-metals are acidic.14.Non-metals have tendency to accept electrons.15.Non-metals do not react with water at room temperature.16.Non-metals rarely react with acids

There are four non-metals in the fourth period: oxygen, sulfur, chlorine, and argon.
