Question

how do metals and non metals react with
acids?​

Answer 1

Answer:

You must have found that non- metals generally do not react with acids but metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop' sound. You must have noticed that copper does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid even on heating but it reacts with sulphuric acid.
