Answer 1

Answer:

1. Non-metals do not react with acids. This is due to the fact that a substance undergoing reaction with acids, donates electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. But non-metals are acceptor of electrons and hence they do not donate electron to the hydrogen ion of the acid.

2. Phosphorus

Phosphorus is a very reactive non-metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen, it is stored in water.

1.non metal don't react with acid as non metals only accept the electrons
