Blog of the Day: Metals VS. Non-Metals

Metals VS. Non-Metals

Metals and non-metals are completely different. Metals are ductile, have luster, are electrically conductive, and are malleable (A property of a material that permits it to be flattened without shattering). Metals include elements such as iron (Fe), tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), and cobbler (Cu).
Non-Metals are brittle (shatter easily), do not have luster, and do not react with acids. Carbon (C), and Oxygen (O). Another interesting part is the in-between of metals and non-metals: Metalloids. Metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and non-metals.

Thank You!
Forever and Always,
