Class 6 - Chapter 3 - Lecture 1

The document outlines the properties of metals and non-metals, highlighting key characteristics such as appearance, strength, malleability, ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity, density, and melting/boiling points. Metals are generally shiny, hard, malleable, and good conductors, while non-metals are dull, soft, brittle, and poor conductors. A comparison table summarizes the differences between metals and non-metals across various properties.

CHAPTER 3

PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS
3.1 METALS & NON-METALS
3.2 COMPARING METALS & NON-METALS
Properties of Metals
• Metals have a shiny appearance.
• Metals in solid state are usually very hard and
strong.
• Metals are malleable.
• Metals are ductile.
• Metals are sonorous.
• Metals are good thermal conductor.
• Metals are good electrical conductor.
Properties of Metals
• Metals usually have high density.
• Metals usually have high melting point and boiling
point.
• Metals are solid at room temperature (except
mercury which is liquid).
• Some metals are magnetic; example are iron,
cobalt and nickel.
Allotropes of Carbon
• Carbon has two allotropes:
(i) diamond
(ii) graphite
Properties of Non-Metals
• Non-metals have a dull appearance.
• Non-metals in solid state are mostly very soft and
brittle.
• Non-metals in solid state are not malleable.
• Non-metals in solid state are not ductile.
• Non-metals in solid state are not sonorous.
• Non-metals are poor thermal conductor (except
carbon in the form of diamond).
Properties of Non-Metals
• Non-metals are poor electrical conductor (except
carbon in the form of graphite).
• Non-metals usually have low density (except
carbon in the form of diamond).
• Non-metals have low melting point and boiling
point (except carbon in the form of diamond).
• Non-metals are mostly solid or gas at room
temperature (except bromine which is liquid).
• Non-metals are not magnetic.
