A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
No, Selenium is not a transition metal. It is a nonmetal element found in the oxygen group of the periodic table. Transition metals are characterized by their ability to form multiple oxidation states, which Selenium does not exhibit.
Actually, these rules don't have so much to do with the same column as the same metal/nonmetal grouping on the periodic table. If they are both nonmetals, then you use numeric prefixes on each element or chemical group that is involved, because the number of oxidation states often varies, and the name needs to explicitly state what the chemical bonding is: - PO4 - phosphorus tetroxide - P2O5 - diphosphorus pentoxide If you have a metal and a nonmetal, then you just specify the metal (if it is a transition metal, with multiple oxidation states, then specify the oxidation number) and the nonmetal with "-ide" suffix: - NaCl - sodium chloride - Cu(OH)2 - copper (II) hydroxide
Carbon, Silicon (a metalloid), Germanium (a metalloid),
Carbon is in the same group as lead.
It is safer to use...say a wooden spoon instead of a metal spoon because metal is a heat conductor...or when metal touches heat the heat goes through the metal (it does the same with electricity). There is a simple answer for it!
Francium is a metal, specifically an alkali metal. It is in the same group as sodium and potassium on the periodic table.
lithium, sodium, caesium, rubidium sulphides: Me2S.
Most metals are used somewhere in transportation. The same is the case for nonmetals.
The metal and non-metal in the same group are Hydrogen and Sodiim

Amorfous sulfur is a yellow powder, this is nothing like metal, so sulfur is a nonmetal (the same as e.g. carbon)

I think you mean displacement reactions. There are 2 types of displacement reactions: single, and double displacement. Single displacement is when a metal -nonmetal reacts with a metal or a nonmetal atom, and the metal or nonmetal atom switches places with the one in the molecule. Double displacement is when two molecules (same as above) react, and the metals/nonmetals (it doesn't really matter in this case) are swapped. They both have a switching of places between atoms, so I guess this is how they are similar.
Same reason you don`t stick metal into a toaster
