Must know

1Metals and non-metals are distinguished by properties such as lustre, conductivity, malleability, ductility, sonority,...
2Metals are generally lustrous, malleable, ductile, sonorous, and good conductors.
3Compare physical properties carefully because exceptions exist, such as graphite conducting electricity.
4Sulphur is a non-metal solid; mercury is a metal liquid at room temperature.

Formula / process

1Metals and non-metals are distinguished by properties such as lustre, conductivity, malleability, ductility, sonority,...
2Non-metals can be solid, liquid, or gas; classify by properties, not only state.
3Rusting is corrosion of iron caused by contact with oxygen and moisture. It can be reduced by preventing contact with...
4Paint prevents contact with air and water; it does not remove existing rust unless cleaned first.

Exam traps

1Students may say all non-metals are gases.
2Non-metals can be solid, liquid, or gas; classify by properties, not only state.
3Which properties support your classification?
4Students may say paint kills rust.

Answer frame

Start with the exact keyword or formula before adding explanation.
Use one example, diagram cue, observation, or substitution to support the answer.
For 3 marks: definition, reason, and one supporting point.
For 5 marks: setup, method/process, example, conclusion, and final check.

Exam strategy

Write to the mark pattern

3 focus areas

Practice written answers Chapter test

Likely prompts

1Observation and inference questions from reactions or experiments.
2Equation, apparatus, separation, structure, or property comparison prompts.
3Reasoning questions that connect conditions, products, and safety precautions.

Keywords to include

1Properties of Metals and Non-Metals
2Meaning
3One-minute summary
4Lustre
5Conductivity
6Malleability

Avoid these traps

1Students may say all non-metals are gases.
2Non-metals can be solid, liquid, or gas; classify by properties, not only state.
3Give property plus use when explaining metals.
4Use more than one property for classification.

Answer frame by marks

3 marks

Name the substance/process, state the observation or property, then give the reason.

5 marks

Write the setup or equation, explain conditions, describe observations, and conclude with product or inference.

Diagram checks

Quick visual checks
