A metal is a material that has a very lustrous appearance when polished, fractured or freshly prepared and has a high thermal and electrical conductivity. Heavy metals are a type of metals that have comparatively very high densities, atomic numbers, thermal and electrical conductivities, etc. Hence, the key difference between metal and heavy metal is that heavy metals have relatively very high densities, atomic weights or atomic numbers compared to other metals.
Toxicity is another major difference between metal and heavy metal. Some metals can be toxic while others are not, but heavy metals can be toxic when present in higher concentrations. Moreover, metals do not bioaccumulate easily, but heavy metals do.
