Question

differentiate between metals and non metals on the basis of their chemical propertirs( answer in 70 words )​

Answer 1

Answer:

How is it

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals and non-metals are two distinct types of materials that we see every day. Elements can be divided into metals and non-metals and it is important to know whether a particular element is a metal or non-metal. Metals such as copper and aluminium are good heat and electricity conductors, while non-metals such as phosphorus and sulphur are insulators.

The difference between metal and non-metal on the basis of their chemical properties.

Metals

Non-metals

Metals are solids in room temperature except for that of mercury

The non-metals exist in all three states

Except for sodium, these metals are very hard

Except for diamond, these non-metals are soft

Metals are ductile and malleable

Non-metals are brittle and could be broken down into pieces

Metals are shiny

Non-metals are non-lustrous

Metals are electropositive in nature

Non-Metals are Electronegative in nature

These metals have high densities

Non-metals have low densities.
