Properties of Metals and Nonmetals

The video tutorial explains the properties of metals and nonmetals. Metals are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile, malleable, sonorous, and solid at room temperature. Nonmetals, such as carbon and sulfur, are dull, poor conductors, non-malleable, generally soft, non-sonorous, and can be solids or gases at room temperature. The video also highlights the physical states of various metals and nonmetals at room temperature, noting that mercury is a liquid metal, while bromine is a liquid nonmetal.
