To distinguish between metals and non-metals we can use two properties of metals :- 

(i) Most of the metals are malleable i.e., they can be converted into sheets. So with the help of hammer we can test and distinguish.

(ii) Metals are good conductor of electricity whereas non-metals are poor conductor.
