Malleability
Solubility

✓

Answer

	Metals	Non-Metals
Melting point and boiling point	Metals have both high melting points and boiling points.	Non-metals have both low melting and low boiling point.
Conductivity of heat and electricity	They are good conductors of heat and electricity.	Nofi-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity
Malleability	Metals are usually malleable.	All non-metals are non-malleable.
Solubility	Metals are generally insoluble in water and other organic solvents.	They are both soluble and insoluble
