The table given below compares some properties of metals and non-metals. Write down the missing statements ( i ) to ( iv ) : Metals Non-metals ( i ) ________ ( i ) Poor conductors of heat ( ii ) Malleable ( ii ) Are ________ ( iii ) Form positive ions ( iii ) ________ ( iv ) ________ ( iv ) Form acidic oxides

Properties of metals are: They are good conductors of heat and electricity and also malleable, i.e., can be beaten into thin sheets. Metal atoms lose electrons from their outer shell when they form ions: the ions are positive, because they have more protons than electrons and form basic oxides when they react with oxygen. Properties of Non-Metals are: They are poor conductors of heat and electricity and also brittle in nature. Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged ions and form acidic oxides when they react with oxygen thus turning blue litmus solution to red. Metals Non-Metals ( i ) Good conductors of heat and electricity ( i ) Poor conductors of heat ( ii ) Malleable ( ii ) Are Brittle ( iii ) Form positive ions ( iii ) Form negative ions ( iv ) Form basic oxides ( iv ) Form acidic oxides
