  • They have a luster, for example- copper, silver, gold etc.
  • They are malleable (they can be beaten or rolled into sheets)
  • They are sonorous. When struck, it produces a sound.
  • Metals are ductile, for example- copper, silver; gold can be easily drawn into wires.
  • Metals are good conductors of heat, when we connect to metal rod with heat of first point then second point is also heated.
  • Metals are good conductors of electric, for example- iron. Copper, aluminum.

Nonmetals

Nonmetals have the following general properties-

  • Bad conductor of heat, they can not allow to pass heat.
  • Bad conductor of electricity, they can not allow to pass electric current, but only graphite is good conductor of electric current.
  • They are no sonorous. They can’t produce

Metals and non metals.

There are 24 non metals known as, 12 are solid (carbon, silicon, phosphorus, sculpture, iodine), 1 is a liquid (bromine), and 11 are gases (nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, neon, helium, chlorine, fluorine, oxygen)

Metals along with hydrogen are arranged in order of their activity in a series, called the activity series.

Metals and non metals

When the chemical action of the air is prolonged beyond tarnishing, the compounds formed slowly eat away the metal. This is called corrosion.
