• The charge of a non metal ion is negative, because they gain electrons when they react with a metal
• Properties of metals:

  • Shiny
  • Strong
  • Malleable
  • Ductile
  • Conductors of heat
  • Conductors of electricity
  • High melting and boiling point
• Properties of non-metals:

  • Dull
  • Brittle
  • Don't conduct electricity or heat
  • Low density
  • Low melting and boiling point
