Difference between metals non metals

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Metals: Metals are generally hard,lustrous,good conductors of heat and electricity.They can be beaten into sheets.

Non-metals:The elements that do not exhibit the characteristics of metals.They are not conductors of elecricity but there are some exceptions.

Answer 3

metals:

1.they are good conductors of electricity and heat

2.they can be drawn into the form of wires and sheets

non metals:

1. bad conductors of electricity and heat

2..they cannot be drawn into the form of wires and sheets

metalloids:

All their properties run midway between the metals and non metals.

Answer 4

Metals have different properties than nonmetals. Metals are good conductors of heat meanwhile nonmetals are poor electric and heat conductors.

Answer 5

You can use a magnet to separate the metal, then the nonmetal will be left by it self.

Answer 6

The easiest way is to put a magnet on the metal. The magnet will not stick to Non ferrous metals whereas anything with a bit of metal in will stick.
