\u25cf Hard and have a high tensile strength \u2013 Carbon is the only non metal with very high tensile strength.
\u25cf Solid at room temperature \u2013 One non-metal, bromine, is a liquid at room temperature. The other non-metals are solids at room temperature, including carbon and sulfur.
\u25cf Sonorous \u2013 Metals produce a typical ringing sound when hit by something.
\u25cf Good conductors of heat and electricity \u2013 Graphite is good conductor of heat and electricity.
\u25cf Malleable, i.e., can be beaten into thin sheets
\u25cf Ductile, i.e., can be drawn into thin wires
\u25cf High melting and boiling points (except Caesium (Cs) and Gallium (Ga)) \u2013 Graphite, a form of carbon (a non-metal), has a high boiling point and exists in the solid state at room temperature.
\u25cf Dense, (except alkali metals). Osmium \u2013 highest density and lithium \u2013 least density
\u25cf Lustrous \u2013 Metals have the quality of reflecting light from their surface and can be polished e.g., gold, silver and copper. Iodine and carbon are non-metals which are lustrous. Note that carbon is lustrous only in certain forms like diamond , and graphite.
\u25cf Silver-grey in colour, (except gold and copper) \u2013 Metals usually have a silver or grey colour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
