Give four differences between metals and non-metals with reference to their (a) Melting point and … and electricity, (c) Malleability…
Answers:
| Metals | Non-metals | |
| Melting point and boiling point | Metals have both high high melting point and boiling point. | Non-metals have both low melting and low boiling point. |
| Conductivity of heat and electricity | They are good conductors of heat and electricity. | Nofi-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity. |
|
Malleabi lity |
Metals are ususally malleable. | All non-metal are non- malleable. |
|
Solubility |
Metals are generally insoluble in water and other organic solvents. | They are both soluble and insoluble |
