State any three differences between the physical properties of metals and non-metals.

the three differences between the physical properties of metals and the non-metals are:-

Property of metal:-


1) Metals are malleable i.e. they can be beaten into thin sheets with a hammer.


2) Metals are ductile i.e. they can be drawn into thin wires.


3) Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.


Property of non-metal:-


1) Non-metals are non-malleable i.e. they cannot be beaten into thin sheets with a hammer.


2) Non-metals are non-ductile i.e. they cannot be drawn into thin wires.


3) Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity.
