Question

b) Differentiate between metals and non metals on the basis of ductility and reaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Metals are ductile while non metals are not ductile.
2. Oxides of metals are basic in nature while oxides of bases are acidic in nature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals are ductile in nature i.e. it can be drawn into thin wires. But non-metals are not ductile. ... Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides whereas non-metals usually react with oxygen to form acidic oxides. Metals are good reducing agent as it loses electrons easily from its valance shell
