GPT 3.5
Metals:
- Metals are typically hard, shiny, and have high levels of density.
- They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
- Metals are malleable, which means they can be hammered or pressed into various shapes without breaking.
- They are ductile, meaning they can be drawn into thin wires without breaking.
- Most metals have high melting and boiling points.
- They tend to lose electrons and form positive ions when reacting with non-metals.

Non-metals:
- Non-metals can exist in various forms, such as gases, liquids, or solids.
- They have lower levels of density compared to metals.
- Non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- They can be brittle and easily break when subjected to force.
- Non-metals have lower melting and boiling points compared to metals.
- They tend to gain or share electrons with other atoms when forming compounds.
