|
non-metals are poor conductors of electricity and heat
|
metals are ductile
|
Non metals are not ductile
|
has a metallic luster
|
Does not has a metallic luster
|
Metals have high melting points and high boiling points as they have strong metallic bonds.
|
Nonmetals have high ionization energies , high electro negativities.
|
Metals are hard, they can’t be broken easily and require a lot of energy and strength to break.
|
They are very weak and brittle.
|
Metals are malleable
|
Non metals are brittle
|
Metals are opaque
|
Non metals are transparent
