==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A [[Non-metal]] is a a [[material]] that is a bad [[Electrical Conductor|conductor]] of [[electricity]] and a bad [[Thermal Conductor|conductor]] of [[thermal energy]].
===About Metals===
: [[Non-metal]]s are found on the right hand side of the [[Periodic Table]]

===Properties of Metals===
There are several key properties of [[metal]]s you should know. [[Metal]]s are:
*Good [[Electrical Conductor|conductor]]s of [[electricity]]
*Good [[Thermal Conductor|conductor]]s of [[thermal energy]]
*[[Reflectivity|Shiny]] - They have reflective surfaces when polished.
*[[Malleability|Malleable]] - They can be hammered into shape.
*[[Ductility|Ductile]] - They can be stretched into wires.
*[[Sonorousness|Sonorous]] - They make a ringing sound when they are hit.
