Question

difference between metal and nonmetal ​

Answer 1

Answer:

metals loses electrons ...

non metals gains electrons..

Explanation:

metals are shiny ,lusture,ductile..

but non metals do not have these property...

metals react with acids and release a gas

k+hcl=kcl+h2

Answer 2

Answer:

Differences between metal and non metal -

(Physical)

1. Metals are solid (except mercury and gallium). On the other hand, Non-metals are solid or gas (except Bromine).

2.Metals are ductile. But Non metals are non-ductile.

3.Metals are lustrous. But Non metals are non-lustrous.

4. Metals are malleable. But non metals are non-malleable.

5. Metals are sonorous. but non metals are non-sonorous .

6. Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity. but non metals are poor conductor of heat and electricity.

7. Most metals are hard except sodium. But most of non metals are soft except diamond.

8. Metals have high density. but non metals have low density.

9. Metals are crystalline. but non metals are amorphic.

10. Metals are electropositive. but non metals are electronegative.

(Chemical)

1. Oxides of metal are basic in nature.but oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature.

2. Metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids.But they cannot do so.

3. Metals form chlorides which are electrovalent or ionic compounds. But non-metals form chlorides which are covalent compounds.

4. they displace hydrogen from water. but they cannot do so.
