Metals vs Non-Metals

Science · Matter & Materials · conceptual

Compare the physical and chemical properties of metals and non-metals, explaining metallic properties (malleability, lustre, conductivity) and how position in the periodic table predicts reactivity

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Lists physical properties typical of metals (shiny, malleable, good conductor) and non-metals
  • Explains why metals are used in wires, cookware, and construction based on their properties
  • Uses the periodic table to predict whether an element is likely to be reactive or unreactive
  • Explains what lustre and malleability mean in terms of real-world observations

Check your understanding

If Metals vs Non-Metals had an unknown substance that was shiny, could be bent without breaking, and conducted electricity, could they identify it as likely a metal and explain how each property points to that conclusion?
