Question

differentiate between metal and non-metal on the basis of compound formation

who will answer correctly I will give him brainliest but don't spam pls​

Answer 1

Answer: Here is the answer

Explanation:

iMetals Non-metals                                                                   Non metals

These are solids at room

temperature except mercury                         These exist in all three states

These are very hard except sodium               These are soft except diamond

These are malleable and ductile           These are brittle and can break  

                                                                                                   down into pieces

These are shiny                                    These are non-lustrous except iodine

Electropositive in nature                                         Electronegative in nature

Have high densities                                                           Have low densities

Answer 2

✴Answer:-

Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides. Non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic or neutral oxides. Non-metals do not react with water. Metals react with dilute acids to form metal salts and they displace hydrogen from acids.

✴More To Known:-

• Nonmetals share many similar properties including:-

1. They are either gas (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) or solid (carbon, sulfur) under standard conditions.
2. They are not good conductors of electricity or heat.
3. They are very brittle in their solid form.
4. They are not malleable or ductile.

• Metals are usually solid, good conductors of electricity and heat, shiny when clean, strong and malleable (meaning they can be bent and shaped). Gold is shiny and doesn't corrode, this means it is a great metal for making jewelry.

• About 75% of all elements on the periodic table are metals. Iron is the most abundant metal on earth—and it also makes up much of the Earth's core. The most common metal found in the Earth's crust, however, is aluminum.
