Theme 5 : Metals and Non metals worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each question one by one and match the correct word from the box.

The words in the box are:
- brittle or soft
- Ductility
- Diamond
- Malleability
- non metal
- Conductivity

Question 1:
*I allow the heat and current to pass through the metal easily.*
→ This is talking about how well something lets heat or electricity flow. That’s called conductivity. Metals have high conductivity.
✔ Answer: Conductivity

---

Question 2:
*I am a property that allows metals to be drawn into the wires for electricity.*
→ Drawing into wires? That’s called being “ductile.” The property is ductility. Copper wires are made because copper has ductility.
✔ Answer: Ductility

---

Question 3:
*I allow the metal to be beaten into thin sheets.*
→ Beating into sheets? That’s called “malleable.” So the property is malleability. Gold can be hammered into very thin sheets — that’s malleability.
✔ Answer: Malleability

---

Question 4:
*One of the properties of non metals is being ________________.*
→ Non-metals usually break easily (brittle) or are soft (like sulfur). They don’t bend like metals. So this fits brittle or soft.
✔ Answer: brittle or soft

---

Question 5:
*________________ is the hardest non metal.*
→ Diamond is a form of carbon, which is a non-metal, and it’s the hardest natural substance known.
✔ Answer: Diamond

---

Question 6:
*A ________________ may be either in solid, liquid or gaseous state.*
→ Metals are usually solids (except mercury), but non-metals can be all three! For example:
- Solid: Sulfur
- Liquid: Bromine
- Gas: Oxygen
So this describes a non metal.
✔ Answer: non metal

Final Answer:
1. Conductivity
2. Ductility
3. Malleability
4. brittle or soft
5. Diamond
6. non metal
