Differentiate metals and nonmetals. Cite the importance of metals and nonmetals in our daily life. ACTIVITY: Identify the following properties if it is Metal or Nonmetal.
Low density Brittle High density
Shiny Good conductor Bad Conductor Solid Hard Dull METAL NONMETAL WHAT IS METAL? METALS • All metals are shiny • With the exception of mercury, metals are generally solid at room temperature and pressure. • Solids metals are malleable. • Metals are ductile. • Most metal have high melting and boiling point. • Metals are good conductors of electricity. WHAT IS NONMETAL? NONMETAL • Are not lustrous (in their solid forms) • Are either gases or volatile liquids at room temperature. Some nonmetals can be solid at room temperature, but they have very low melting points --- except for carbon in the form of a diamond. • Are brittle solids. They break easily. • Have low melting and boiling points. • Are poor conductors of electricity. BY PAIR: Give at least 5 examples of metals and 5 examples of nonmetals that can be found in their house or inside the school. IDENTIFY IF IT IS METAL OR NONMETAL.
