Key Stage 3
Meaning
A Non-metal is a a material that is a bad conductor of electricity and a bad conductor of thermal energy.
About Metals
- Non-metals are found on the right hand side of the Periodic Table
 |
| This Periodic Table shows the Non-metal elements in orange. |
Properties of Metals
There are several key properties of metals you should know. Metals are:
- Bad conductors of electricity
- Bad conductors of thermal energy
- Dull - They do not have reflective surfaces.
- Brittle - They break easily when hit.
- Stiff - They do not stretch easily.
- Not sonorous - They make a short dull sound when hit.
