II. The following properties to be marked as metal or non-metal



We need to identify whether each property is typical of metals or non-metals.

| Property | Metal | Non-metal |
|--------|-------|-----------|
| 1. I shine when I'm polished | | |
| 2. I can be broken down to a powdery substance on tapping down | | |
| 3. I am sonorous and produce ringing sound on hitting | | |
| 4. I am not lustrous | | |
| 5. I am a bad conductor of electricity and heat | | |

#### Explanation:
1. Shine when polished → Metals are lustrous (shiny), especially when polished.
Metal

2. Broken down to powder on tapping → This describes brittleness, which is a property of non-metals.
Non-metal

3. Sonorous (produces ringing sound) → Metals produce a ringing sound when struck.
Metal

4. Not lustrous → Lack of shine is typical of non-metals.
Non-metal

5. Bad conductor of electricity and heat → Non-metals are generally poor conductors.
Non-metal

III. The following list of items to be marked as metal or non-metal



Now classify the items:

| ITEM | METAL | NON-METAL |
|------|-------|-----------|
| 🟦 Water bottle (plastic) | | |
| 💍 Gold rings | | |
| 💎 Diamond | | |
| 🔪 Kitchen utensils (pots, pans) | | |

#### Explanation:
1. Water bottle (plastic) → Made of plastic, which is a non-metal.
Non-metal

2. Gold rings → Gold is a metal.
Metal

3. Diamond → A form of carbon, which is a non-metal.
Non-metal

4. Kitchen utensils (pots, pans) → Typically made of steel, aluminum, etc., all metals.
Metal

Final Answer Table:



#### II. Properties

| Property | Metal | Non-metal |
|--------|-------|-----------|
| 1. I shine when I'm polished | | |
| 2. I can be broken down to a powdery substance on tapping down | | |
| 3. I am sonorous and produce ringing sound on hitting | | |
| 4. I am not lustrous | | |
| 5. I am a bad conductor of electricity and heat | | |

#### III. Items

| ITEM | METAL | NON-METAL |
|------|-------|-----------|
| Water bottle | | |
| Gold rings | | |
| Diamond | | |
| Kitchen utensils | | |

---

Summary:
- Metals are shiny, sonorous, malleable, good conductors, and ductile.
- Non-metals are dull, brittle, poor conductors, and often gases or solids that break easily.

This classification helps in identifying materials based on their physical and chemical behavior.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of metal or nonmetal worksheet.
