Compare the chemical properties of metals and non metals in brief.
(Hint: Reaction with oxygen, Reaction with water, Reaction with Dilute acids)
Answers
Explanation:
Metals
Non-Metals
1
All metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides
All non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic or neutral oxides.
2
Metals react with water to produce metal oxide (or metal hydroxide) and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals do not react with water.
3
Metals react with a dilute acid to form a metal salt and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals do not react with dilute acids .
4
All metals react with chlorine to form ionic metal chlorides.
Non-metals react with chlorine to form covalent chlorides.
5
Only a few metals like Na, K, Ca and Mg react with hydrogen to form metal hydrides.
Non-metals react with hydrogen to form covalent Hydrides.
Answer:
here is your answer
Explanation:
1. Reaction with o2
metals react with o2 to form metallic oxides which are basic in nature
non metal can react with o2 to form non metallic oxide
2. reaction with water
- metal are different in reactivity with water
- non metal do not react with water
3. reaction with acid
- metals can react with acid some metals like cu and lead do not react with dilute hcl acid
- non metals do not react with acid except sulfur and phosphorus
4. alkalies
- most metal can react with alkalies except al and zn
