State any five physical properties of metals and five physical properties of non-metals.

Five physical properties of metals are:-

1) metals are malleable, which mean metals can be beaten into thin sheets.


2) Property of ductility, which mean metals can be drawn into thin wires.


3) Metals are lustrous.


4) Property of hardness.


5) Property of conductivity, metals are good conductor of electricity and heat.


Five property of non-metals.


1) Generally non-metals are soft in nature.


2) Non-metals are bad conductor of heat and electricity, as they do not allow the flow of electricity or heat through them


3) Non-metals are not ductile in nature.


4) Non-metals cannot be beaten into thin sheets.


5) Non-metals do not have the property of luster.
