Answer:
Difference between metal and non mental on the basis of their chemical properties are:
METALS
1) Metals are electropositive.
2) They react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
3) They react with water to form oxides and hydroxides. Some metals react with cold water, some with hot water, and some with steam.
4) They react with dilute acids to form a salt and evolve hydrogen gas. However, Cu, Ag, Au, Pt, Hg do not react.
5) They react with the salt solution of metals. Depending on their reactivity, displacement reaction can occur.
6) They act as reducing agents (as they can easily lose electrons).
Whereas NON METALS
1) Non-metals are electronegative.
2) They react with oxygen to form acidic or neutral oxides.
3) They do not react with water.
4) They do not react with dilute acids. These are not capable of replacing hydrogen.
5) These react with the salt solution of non-metals.
6) These act as oxidising agents (as they can gain electrons).
