Question

Differenciate between metal and non metal on basis of chemical properties

Answer 1

Answer:

=> Metals form chlorides which are electrovalent or ionic compounds. Non-metals form chlorides which are covalent compounds.

metals are good conductors of heat and electricity(usually) whereas non metals are not.Metals form basic oxides whereas non metals form acidic or neutral oxides.Metals are good reducing agents and non metals are good oxidizing agents.metals have low electro negativity whereas non metals are highly electro negative in charge.✨✨✨✨✨

Thanks ☺️❤️

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:-

$.$

Difference on the basis of chemical properties :-

METALS

Metals react with non-metals to form ionic compounds.

• Example- 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

Metals combine with oxygen to form metal oxides which are basic in nature.

• Example- 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

NON-METALS

Non-metals form covalent bonds.

Non-metals dissolve in water to form acidic solutions.

• Example- SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₃
