Physical properties of nonmetals are generally just the opposite of metals so:
- No luster (dull appearance)
- Not ductile
- Low density
- Low melting point
- Poor conductor
- Not malleable
The chemical properties of non metals just tend to gain electrons
Hope that helps

Why are bells not made up 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
Can metals be lustrous while nonmetals are not lustrous?
It is a characteristic or you can say, property of metalsthat - they are LUSTROUS in nature whereas on the other hand, non-metals possess the property that - they are NON - LUSTROUS in nature.Thus, metals can be lustrous and non-metals cannot be lustrous in nature(except iodine, which is a non-metal, but is lustrous in nature).
How do you differentiate metals from non metals?
Metals usually have a characteristic lustre, so you can often tell just by looking. The metals conduct electricity when solid, and non-metals, with the exception of graphite, do not. Metals react with oxygen to give basic oxides, whereas non-metals give acidic oxides.
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
Luster is most closly associated with which type of element?
Metals are lustrous - a very typical property. or Lustre is a property mainly associated with metals. However, a few non-metals like iodine also have lustre.

Is metal being cut into wire a physical or chemical property?
The ability to pull metals into wires is called ductility. Metals are ductile, non-metals are not. Ductility is a physical property.
What are properties on non metals and examples?
non metals give acidic oxides e.g S,Cetc
Why are bells not mad up of non metals?
non-metals can't be used as bells as it is not sonorous. It's property don't support it from being sonorous
Do metals take electrons or give electrons to the atoms they bond with?
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
Explain why metals react with non-metals.?
The simplest explanation is that metals have valence electrons to give away, and non metals need extra electrons to complete their valence shell.
It is possible that rice pulling property in non metals?
yEs possible yEs possible
