Chemical Properties of metals
Have 1-3 electrons in the outer shell of each metal atomCorrode easily, i.e. damaged by oxidation such as tarnish or rustThey lose electrons easilyThey form oxides that are basic in natureHave lower electro-negativitiesAre good reducing agents
Chemical Properties of non metals
Usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shellThey readily gain or share valence electronsThey form oxides that are acidic in natureThey have higher electro-negativitiesAre good oxidizing agents
