SCIENCE CLASS 10TH CHAPTER-METAL AND NON-METAL FORMULA & IMPORTANT POINTS Science Formulas Class-10 for chapter-Metal and non-metal Metals: The elements, which have the properties of luster, malleability and ductility, high thermal and electrical conductivities. The metals have a good tendency to loose. electrons. Non-metals: The elements, which do not have the above, mentioned properties.These have a good tendency to gain electrons. Metalloids: The elements having the properties of metals as well as non-metals. Difference between metals and non-metals Properties Metals Non-metals Physical Properties 1. State Metals are solids at ordinary temperature. (except mercury, which is a liquid.) Non-metals exist in all the three states, that is, solid, liquid and gas. 2. Lustre They possess lustre of shine. They possess no lustre. (except lodine and graphite.) 3. Malleability and Ductility Metals are generally malleable and du...
