Question

distinguish between metals and non metals based on their chemical properties

Answer 1

Explanation:

Metals Non-metals

Metals are electro-positive. Non-metals are electronegative.

Metals reacts with oxygen to form basic 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.
