 What are Metals and Non-metals and its Properties Class 10 Science  CBSE Class 10 Science Notes -  Metals and Non-metals is part of Class 10 Science Notes for Quick Revision. Here, discussed on Metals and Non-Metals, Its Properties & Difference between metals and non-metals   What are metals? Metals, with the exception of hydrogen, are all elements that lose electrons during Chemical reactions to form positive ions. As a result, metals are electropositive elements with low ionization energies. They have a lustrous sheen, can reverberate sound, and are excellent heat and electricity conductors. Metals, with the exception of Mercury, are solids in nature.   Metals: Physical properties Conduction: Metals are a good conductor of heat and electricity. This is why electric wires are made of metals such as copper and aluminum. Malleability: Metals can be shaped. Metals will therefore be pounded into a thin film. Because of this property, iron is used in the construction of large ships
