Physical properties of metals and Non-metals 

Metals and non-metals have different properties and different reactions. These differences in reactivity depend on where an element is placed in the periodic table.

Properties of metal and non-metal elements.

Metals are placed on the left-hand side of the periodic table, and non-metals on the right.
