Question

Explain the reaction of metal and non metal with acid and base

Answer 1

Answer:

hope its help u......

Explanation:

Acids are non-metals. They react with bases to form salts and water.

(HCl + NaOH —————-> NaCl + H2O)

Reactions of other non-metals with bases are actually quite complex. Non-metal oxides are usually acidic in nature and react with bases in the same way as acids (salt and water).

CO2 + 2NaOH —————-> Na2CO3 + H2O

There are more complex base-non-metal reactions such as chlorine with calcium hydroxide and chlorine with potassium hydroxide.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Non-metals react with oxygen to produce non- metallic oxides which are acidic in nature. ... Metals react with acids and produce metal salts and hydrogen gas. Generally, non-metals do not react with acids. Some metals react with bases to produce hydrogen gas.
