  2. Metals are ductile i.e. they can be drawn into thin wires.
  3. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals
  1. Non-metals are non-malleable i.e. they cannot be beaten into thin sheets with a hammer.
  2. Non-metals are non-ductile i.e. they cannot be drawn into thin wires.
