difference betwwen chemical properties of metals and non metals
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Metals react with dilute acids to form salt and H2. Non-metals do not react with dilute acid and they can not displace hydrogen. Metals react as reducing agent by donating electrons. Non-metals are oxidizing agents that can gain the electrons.

☛ Metals form basic oxides.
☛ It displace hydrogen from water or steam.
☛ It displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
☛ It form ionic chlorides with chlorine.These ionic chlorides are electrolytes but non volatile.
☛ It usually do not combine with hydrogen.only a few reactive metals combine with hydrogen to form ionic metal hydrides.
☛ Non metals form acidic oxides or neutral oxides.
☛Non metals do not react with water or steam and hence do not displace hydrogen from water or steam.
☛ Non metals do not react with dilute acids and hence do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
☛ It form covalent chlorides with chlorine which are non electrolytes but volatile.
☛ It react with hydrogen to form stable, covalent hydrides.
