Give four differences between metals and non-metals with reference to their:
(a) Melting point and boiling point
(b) Conductivity of heat and electricity
(c) Malleability
(d) Solubility in water.
(a) Metals have high melting point and boiling point whereas non-metals have low melting point and boiling point.
(b) Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity but non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity.
(c) Metals are mostly malleable while non-metals are not malleable.
(d) Metals are insoluble in water while non-metals can be soluble or insoluble in water.
