metals
A metal is a chemical element that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat and forms cations and ionic bonds with non-metals
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE METALS ARE:
PHYSICAL STATE HARDNESS LUSTRE DENSITY MELTING AND BOILING POINT MALLEABILITY DUCTILITY TENSILE STRENGTH CONDUCTIVITY SONOROUS
Silver.
uses of metals
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. SILVER,GOLD ETC. ARE USED FOR MAKING JEWELLERY MERCURY IS USED FOR MAKING THERMOMETERS. COPPER ETC. ARE USED TO MAKE WIRES. METALS ARE USED FOR MAKING UTENSILS. IRON IS USED FOR MAKING HOUSES ETC.
There are very few non-metals as compared to metals Some of them are sulphur,diamond,iodine,hydrogen,oxygen THE PHYSICIAL PROPERTIES OF NON-METALS ARE:
THE PHYSICIAL STATE BRITTLENESS MALLEABILITY DUCTILITY ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL CONDUCTANCE SOFTNESS MELTING AND BOILING POINT DENSITY
PHYSICAL STATE BRITTLENESS:sulphur and phosphorus are brittle non metals. MALLEABILITY; Non- metals are non malleable, this means they cannot be
beaten into sheets.
DUCTILITY: Non-metals are non-ductile, they cannot be drawn into wires. ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL CONDUCTANCE: Except graphite all nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. SOFTNESS: Except diamond which is the hardest natural substance known, all other non-metals are soft . MELTING AND BOILING POINT: Non-metals usually have low melting point. DENSITY: Non-metals are light and have low densities.
USES OF NON-METALS
POWDERED GRAPHITE IS USED AS A DRY LUBRICANTS CHLORINE IS USED FOR WATER PURIFICATION. PHOSPHOROUS IS USED FOR SMOKE SCREENS SULPHUR IS USED FOR MAKING PLASTICS DYES ETC. PHOSPHOROUS IS USED FOR MANUFACTURING FERTILIZERS.
