    Metals usually have 1-3 electrons in their outer shell, lose electrons easily, form basic oxides, and are good reducing agents. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, have metallic luster, and are solids at room temperature. Nonmetals usually have 4-8 outer shell electrons, gain or share electrons easily, form acidic oxides, are good oxidizers, and can be solids, liquids or gases at room temperature. They are poor conductors and brittle.

    Chemical Properties Metals

    Nonmetals

    Usually have 1-3 electrons in their outer shell. Lose their valence electrons easily. Form oxides that are basic. Are good reducing agents. Have lower electronegativities.

    Usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shell. Gain or share valence electrons easily. Form oxides that are acidic. Are good oxidizing agents. Have higher electronegativities. Nonmetals

    Physical Properties Metals


    Good electrical conductors andheat conductors. Malleable - can be beaten into thin sheets. Ductile - can be stretched into wire. Possess metallic luster. Opaque as thin sheet. Solid at room temperature (except Hg).

    Poor conductors of heat and electricity. Brittle - if a solid. Nonductile. Do not possess metallic luster. Transparent as a thin sheet. Solids, liquids or gases at room temperature.
