Solution

Metals:

  • Metals are a group of substances distinguished by strong electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as malleability, ductility, and high light reflectance.
  • Metals are naturally occurring compounds under the Earth's surface.
  • The majority of metals are lustrous or glossy.
  • Metals are inorganic, which implies they are formed of nonliving components.
  • Examples of metals are:
    • Lithium (Li)
    • Magnesium (Mg)
    • Aluminum (Al)
    • Titanium (Ti)
    • Iron (Fe)
    • Cobalt (Co)
    • Nickel (Ni)
    • Copper (Cu)
    • Zinc (Zn)
    • Silver (Ag)

Non-metals:

  • Non-metals are those that lack all metallic properties.
  • They are excellent heat and electricity insulators.
  • They are usually gases and occasionally liquids.
  • Non-metals are elements that absorb or acquire electrons to generate negative ions.
  • Nonmetals often have four, five, six, or seven electrons in their outermost shell.
  • Examples of non-metals are:
    • Hydrogen (H)
    • Helium (He)
    • Iodine (I)
    • Argon (Ar)
    • Oxygen (O)
    • Neon (Ne)
    • Nitrogen (N)
    • Carbon (C)
    • Sulphur (S)
    • Bromine (Br)
