PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS AND NON METALS
Metals- Metals are malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity, lustrous, usually strong,sonorous,generally hard.
Non Metals- Non metals are brittle, not ductile, poor conductors of heat and electricity, dull, not strong, not sonorous, quite soft.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS AND NON METALS
Metals-
- Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. Metal oxides are basic in nature.
- When a metal reacts with water, then a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas are formed.
- Most of the metals react with dilute acids to form salts and hydrogen gas.
- Some metals react with bases to form salts and hydrogen gas.
Non metals-
- Non metals react with oxygen to form non-metal oxides.Non metal oxides are acidic in nature.
- Non metals do not react with water, dilute acids.
- Some non-metals react with bases (like sodium hydroxide) but no hydrogen gas is produced.
