Question

Give four differences between metals and non-metals with reference to their:

1. Melting point and boiling point
2. The conductivity of heat and electricity
3. Malleability
4. Solubility 

Answer 1

	Metals	Non-Metals
Melting point and boiling point	Metals have both high melting points and boiling points.	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
Malleabi­lity	Metals are usually malleable.	All non-metals are non-malleable.
Solubility	Metals are generally insoluble in water and other organic solvents.	They are both soluble and insoluble
