Explanation:

Metals                                    Non-metals Metals are electro-positive .Non-metals are electronegative. Metals reacts with oxygen asic oxides.

4Na+O2→2Na2O

Non-metals react with oxygen to form neutral or acidic oxide.

C+O2→CO2

Metal oxides and hydroxides bonds have ionic bonds.Non-metal oxides and hydroxides have covalent bonds.Metals react with water to form hydroxide and hydrogen.

2Na+2H2O→2NaOH+H2

Non-metals do not react with water.Metals react with dilute acids to form salt and H2.Non-metals do not react with dilute acid and they can not displace hydrogen.Metals react as reducing agent by donating electrons.

Na→Na++e−

Non-metals are oxidizing agents that can gain the electrons.

Cl2+e−→Cl−
