Prior Knowledge Required
- Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators
- Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not
- Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull
- Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not.
- Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck.
- Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic.
- Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy.
- Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid.
- Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide.
- Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic
