List two differences between metals and non-metals

Metals: lustrous, good conductors, malleable, ductile, mostly solid, used in construction, tools and jewelry, left side of periodic table, more reactive

Non-metals: dull, poor conductors, any state, brittle, used in biological systems and insulation, right side of periodic table, less reactive
