Give any two differences between metals and nonmetals with examples.

Metals are lustrous. They have a shiny surface. Metals are generally hard. Most metals are bendable. Most metals are good conductors of electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat. Most metals are making ringing sound when struck. Gold,Silver


Non-metals are generally soft, Non-metals are non bendable, Non-metals are non ductile ,Non-metals are bad conductors of electricity, Non-metals are bad conductors of heat, Non-metals does not make any sound when they struck. Eg: Bromine, Sulphur.

Define the following terms with an example of each: 

Metal 

 Non-metal 

Metalloid

Metal

  • Definition: A substance that is typically solid, shiny, malleable, and a good conductor of heat and electricity.
  • Example: Iron (Fe) - Used in construction and manufacturing due to its strength and conductivity.

Non-metal

  • Definition: A substance that lacks metallic properties, usually brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
  • Example: Oxygen (O₂) - A gas essential for respiration and combustion.

Metalloid

  • Definition: A substance with properties intermediate between metals and non-metals, often semiconductors.
  • Example: Silicon (Si) - Used in electronics and computer chips due to its semiconducting properties.

Define the following terms with an example of each:

 a. Element b. Compound


a. Element

  • Definition: A pure substance made of only one type of atom.
  • Example: Oxygen (O₂) - A gas consisting only of oxygen atoms.

b. Compound

  • Definition: A substance made of two or more different elements chemically combined.
  • Example: Water (H₂O) - A liquid formed from hydrogen and oxygen atoms bonded together.
