Draw up the following table: Metals Non-metals

Place the following in your table in the correct column: Solid at room temperature (except mercury) May be solid, liquid or gas at room temperature Do not conduct heat (thermal energy) Conduct heat Do not conduct electricity (except some carbon) Conduct electricity Are usually brittle Are shiny Are hard and strong Malleable (can be hammered into shape) Ductile (can be drawn into thin wires)

Metals Non-metals Solid at room temperature (except mercury) Conduct heat Conduct electricity Are shiny Are hard and strong Malleable Ductile May be solid, liquid or gas at room temperature Do not conduct heat (thermal energy) Do not conduct electricity (except some carbon) Are usually brittle

Metals Non-Metals All shiny Most are silver covered, except Copper (Cu) & gold (Au ) All conduct electricity All conduct heat All are malleable (can be shaped without breaking) All are ductile (can be drawn out as a wire)   Non-Metals Non-metals are solids and gases Non-metals have different colours Non-metals are dull
