What are the main characteristics of metals?
- Intermediate properties, can behave as metals or non-metals
- Dull, brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity
- Shiny, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity (correct)
- Tend to gain electrons and form negatively charged ions
What are the main characteristics of non-metals?
