differentiate between metal and non metal on the basis of their chemical properties
Answers
Answer:
Metals::
1. Oxides of metal are basic in nature.
2. Metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
3. Metals form chlorides which are electrovalent or ionic compounds.
4. They displace hydrogen from water.
Non metals::
1. Oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature.
2. They cannot displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
3. Non-metals form chlorides which are covalent compounds.
4.They cannot displace hydrogen from water.
METALS
▪️They are melleable and ductile.
▪️They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
▪️They are sonorous.
▪️They are lustrous.
▪️They are hard.
▪️They are solid at room temperature.
▪️They have high density.
▪️They hav high melting and boiling point.
Examples :−
Copper, Aluminium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron,etc.
