• Elementscanbeclassifiedasmetalsandnon-metalsonthebasisoftheirproperties. • Exampleofsomemetalsare: Iron(Fe),Aluminium(Al),Silver(Ag),Copper(Cu) • Examplesofsomenon-metalsare: Hydrogen(H),Nitrogen(N),Sulphur(S),Oxygen(O)
I. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
PROPERTY METALS NON-METALS
1.Lustre Metalshaveshiningsurface. They do not have shiningsurface.•ExceptIodine.
2.Hardness Theyaregenerallyhard.•ExceptSodium,LithiumandPotassiumwhich are soft and can be cut withknife.
Generallysoft.• Except Diamond, a formof carbon which is thehardestnaturalsubstance.
3.State Existassolids.•ExceptMercury.
Existassolidsorgaseous.•ExceptBromine.
4.Malleability Metalscanbebeatenintothinsheets.•GoldandSilverarethemostmalleablemetals.
Non-metals are non-malleable.
5.Ductility Metalscanbedrawnintothinwires. Theyarenon-ductile.
6.Conductorofheat&elec-tricity
Metalsaregoodconductorsofheatandelectricity.
• Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) : Bestconductorsofheat.
• Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg) poorconductorofheat.
Non-metals are poorconductor of heat andelectricity.•ExceptGraphite.
7.Density Generally have high density and highmeltingpoint.
•ExceptSodiumandPotassium.
Have low density and lowmeltingpoint.
8.Sonorous Metals produce a sound on striking ahardsurface.
Theyarenotsonorous.
9.Oxides Metallicoxidesarebasicinnature. Non-metallic oxides areacidicinnature.
