2.Basses
(Whoever gave the right answer, I will mark him brainlist and follow him)
Answers
Answer:
Metals
Metals are electro-positive.
Metals reacts with oxygen to form basic oxides.
4Na+O2 →2Na2O
Metal oxides and hydroxides bonds have ionic bonds.
Metals react with water to form hydroxide and hydrogen.
2Na+2H2O→2NaOH+H2
Metals react with dilute acids to form salt and H2
Metals react as reducing agent by donating electrons. Na→Na + +e −
Non-metals
Non-metals are electronegative.
Non-metals react with oxygen to form neutral or acidic oxide.
C+O2 →CO2
Non-metal oxides and hydroxides have covalent bonds.
Non-metals do not react with water.
Non-metals do not react with dilute acid and they can not displace hydrogen.
Non-metals are oxidizing agents that can gain the electrons.
Cl 2 +e − →Cl −
