Question

difference between metals and non metals in chemical processes with respect to oxygen ​

Answer 1

While metals are good conductors of electricity and heat, non-metals are poor conductors. Unlike non-metals, metals are ductile, which means they can be stretched into wires. Another difference between metals and non-metals, is that the former has a metallic luster, while the other does not.

Answer 2

all metals react with oxygen to form basic oxide.

non metals combine with oxygen and form acidic oxide.

example- nitrogen+oxygen- Nitrogendioxide.

s+o2-so2.

metals hv ionic bonds

non metals hv convalent bonds

metals react with water to form Hydroxide

example- 2Na + 2H2o-2Nao+h2

non metals do not react with water

metals react with salt solution and displaces metal

example-cuso4+zn-znso4+cu

non metals do not react with salt solution
