    The document discusses properties of metals and non-metals through multiple choice questions, short answer questions, and a long answer question. Some key points include: - Metals are generally solid, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. They can be drawn into wires. - Non-metals are generally brittle and break into pieces when beaten. They include carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus. - Metals react with acids to produce hydrogen gas while some non-metals like phosphorus can ignite upon contact with air.
