Answer:
Metals react with acid to produce metal salt and hydrogen gas.
X + ACID(OH) ------ X(SALT) + H2
example Magnesium metal react with dilute hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas.
Non metals do not react with acid.This is because when a substance reacts with acids, it provides electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids.
