CAIE IGCSE Chemistry Comparing Metal and Non-Metal Properties
Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 syllabus for exams in 2026, 2027 and 20282026–2028

Practise comparing metals and non-metals using conductivity, malleability, ductility and melting or boiling data while recognising stated exceptions.

How this is tested

  • identify metals as good thermal and electrical conductors, including in the solid state
  • define and apply malleability and ductility when selecting or describing a material
  • compare typical melting and boiling points while using the supplied data for exceptions
