$×^€×€×€€×&×^×^

Define the following terms:-

i) Metal

ii)Non-metal

Answer 1

$\underline\bold{\huge{Answer !!}}$


$\underline\bold{\LARGE{METAL:-}}$
The elements which have capacity to loss electrons of their outermost shell i.e valance shell to form cation are known as Metal.

For example :- sodium, magnesium, potassium etc..

$\underline\bold{\huge{NON-METAL}}$
The elements which have capacity to gain electrons to form Anion are known as non-metals.

For example :- Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon etc..

Answer 2

$\Huge{\mathfrak{\red{\underline{AnSweR;}}}}$

$\textbf{\underline{Metal}}$


Metal are the the elements which tend to lose electrons to gain stability during cheMical reaction.

They are electropositive.

They have less IP AND E A


Example : Na, Mg, K, Ca etc



$\textbf{\underline{Non-Metal}}$

Elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions are called non-metals.


★They are electronegative


Ex:- Cu, C, O, Fl, Cl
