Metals tend to be hard, metallic-looking solids, with high electrical and thermal conductivity values and high melting and boiling points. Nonmetals tend to be softer, often colorful elements. They may be solids, liquids, or gases.
Metals are malleable and ductile. .Non- metals are brittle (break easily). They are neither malleable nor ductile.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity. Except for graphite which is a good conduction of electricity.
Metals are lustrous and can be polished.
Non-metals are non-lustrous (dull) and cannot be polished. Except for iodine
Metals are solids at room temperature.Except for mercury which is a liquid metal. Non-metals may be solid, liquid or gases at the room temperature.
Metals are strong and tough. Non-metals are not strong or tough.
