The second part deals with the chemical properties of metals and then non-metals. Please note that in this Revision Bite there are a lot of symbol equations. You do not have to learn them, but you do need to be able to translate the symbol equation into words - matching the formulae with the names of the elements and compounds. I Revision Bite. If these properties do not come to mind then you should visit that Revision Bite first.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals are generally insulators. Carbon in the form of graphite , however, is a reasonable conductor of electricity. They are therefore semiconductors. They are used in the microelectronics industry to make chips for computers. The position of these two non-metals is show in the periodic table below.
