Answer» Solution :With the hammer, WER can BETAT the sample and if it can be beaten into thin sheets (That is it is malleable ) then it is METAL OTHERWISE a non metal. Similarly we can use the battery, bulbs, wires and a switch to set up a circuit with a sample. If the sample conducts ELECTRICIY, then it is a metal otherwise a non-metal.
