Question

Difference between metals and non metals with respect following... A) malleablity. B) reaction with air

Answer 1

Answer:

• Comparison of chemical properties of metals and non-metals -  

Property Metals Non-metals

1. Nature Metals are electropositive in nature Non-metals are electronegative in nature

2. STate Metals are solid (except mercury) Non-metals exist in all the three states, i.e., solid, liquid and gas.

3. Metallic  Metals are lustrous Non-metals are non-lustorous. They cannot polished.

4. Ductility Ductile Non-ductile

5. Reaction with acids Metals replaces hydrogen from acids and from salts. Non-metals exits do not replace hydrogen from acids.

6. Reaction with oxygen in air Metals forms basic oxides some of which to form alkalis. Non-metals form acidic or neutral oxides.
