How do non metals vary from metals?

Answer 1

Metals

1 they allow electricity and heat to pass through them easily

2 they are all solids in room temperatures exept for Mercury , and most of them have high melting points.

3 nost of them can be hammed into different shapes

non metals

1 they are poor conductorsof electriity and heat

2 they usually have low melting points

3 when solid non-metals are hammed, they break up-they are brittle.

Answer 2

Nonmetals differ from metals in terms of their physical properties, such as being brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and having lower melting and boiling points. Chemically, nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while metals tend to lose electrons. Furthermore, nonmetals are more likely to form covalent bonds, whereas metals typically form ionic bonds.

Answer 3

I only know of one, and that is that non-metals don't conduct heat or electricity as well.
