ANSWER

Metals Non-metals

Metals are electro-positive. Non-metals are electronegative.

Metals reacts with oxygen to form basic oxides.

4Na+O

​  

→2Na

O

Non-metals react with oxygen to form neutral or acidic oxide.

C+O

​  

→CO

Metal oxides and hydroxides bonds have ionic bonds. Non-metal oxides and hydroxides have covalent bonds.

Metals react with water to form hydroxide and hydrogen.

2Na+2H

​  

O→2NaOH+H

Non-metals do not react with water.

Metals react with dilute acids to form salt and H

​  

. Non-metals do not react with dilute acid and they can not displace hydrogen.

Metals react as reducing agent by donating electrons.

Na→Na

+e  

 

Non-metals are oxidizing agents that can gain the electrons.

Cl

​  

+e  

→Cl

Metals have one to three electrons in their outer shell, whereas non-metalshave four to eight electrons. Anotherdifference is that metals tend to lose their valence electrons, but non-metalsshare or gain valence electrons. ... While metals are good conductors of electricity and heat, non-metals are poor conductors.
