Metal and Non - Metals

4.1 Elements packed, i.e., have high density. However,


Till now, out of 118 elements known, only the lithium (Li), sodium (Na) and potassium (K)
first 98 elements occur naturally on the earth. have densities lesser than water.
Elements are divided into metals, i.e., Fe, Cu, 6. Metals have high MP and BP because their
Hg, Pb, etc., and nonmetals, i.e., C, O, H, N, constituent atoms are closely packed and
