What is the difference between properties of metallic and non-metallic ? A good explanation please
-
Metals:
Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Have shining lusture.
Malleable and ductile(Beaten into thin sheets and drawn into thin wires)
Most have high melting and boiling points.
Are sonorous(give out sound when beaten).
Non-metals:
Bad conductor of heat and electricity(exception:Graphite,a form of carbon)
Don't have shining lusture(Exception:Iodine)
Neither Malleable nor ductile.
Most have low melting and boiling points(Exception:Carbon and some others)
Non-sonorous

Hello,
Metallic elements are shiny, they are able to be bent (malleable) and are able to be drawn into thin wires (ductile). They are also, for the most part, excellent conductors of electricity. They are very strong and have extremely high boiling points.
On the other hand, non-metals are often colored or colorless if a gas, brittle, and boiling points are very low. They are usually not as strong as metals, except for diamond, but a lot of them are gases and don't provide the same structural support as metals do.

Metallic elements (I'm assuming we're talking about elements) are good conductors of heat and electricity, tend to be malleable (can be flattened into thin sheets) and ductile (can be rolled into wires), and form cations when forming ionic bonds with non-metals. Not all metals are strong, though many are, and most have a high boiling point, though mercury (a metal) is a liquid at room temperature.
Non-metallic elements are the opposite. Poor conductors, usually not malleable or ductile, and form anions when in ionic bonds. Though most solid non-metals are brittle, some are very tough. Boiling points vary wildly, though most covalently bonded compounds (two or more non-metals in a bond) tend to be gases, some base elements, like carbon, have boiling points above 4000K.

malleablity, ductillity, lusture, etc
