Metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity
At room temperature, it is in solid form except mercury.
They are opaque and ductile.
Chemical properties of metals-
They have low electronegativities.
They can lose electrons.
They are good reducing agents.
Physical properties of non metals-
Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity At room temperature, they may be solids, liquids or gasses. They are transparent and non ductile.
Chemical properties of non metals-
They can easily gain electrons
They are high electronegative elements.
The number of electrons in the outer shell is generally 4-7.
Final answer:
Physical and chemical properties of metals and nonmetals are mentioned.
