Question

What scientifically makes a metal more powerful than a non - metal ?

Answer 1

"powerful" = hard

Answer 2

It is the arrangement of molecules in the lattice structure of the metals.

The majority of metals have higher densities than the majority of nonmetals. The high density of most metals is due to the tightly packed crystal lattice of the metallic structure. Due to this they have a high molecular force of attraction. The strength of metallic bonds for different metals reaches a maximum around the center of the transition metal series, as those elements have large amounts of delocalized electrons in tight binding type metallic bonds. However, other factors (such as atomic radius, nuclear charge, number of bonding orbitals, overlap of orbital energies, and crystal form) are involved as well.

Answer 3

main thing is here that it depends upon the type of bonding hence here metal have many tight attraction and high bonding which makes them more harder then a non metal

Answer 4

got the good answer or not

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

why

Answer 7

explain it in easy languge and detailed

Answer 8

this is not correct saying metals are harder than non-metals.
for example, the hardest substance in the world is diamond, it is made of Carbon, which is non-metal.
what makes it hard is because of the structure of atoms
