Answer:
CHEMICAL PROPERTY OF METAL-
- Usually have 1- 3 electrons in their outer shell
- Lose their Valence electron easily
- Form oxides that are basic
- Are good reducing agent
- Have lower electronegativities.
CHEMICAL PROPERTY OF NON METAL -
- Usually have 4 - 8 electrons in their outer shell
- Gain or share valence electron easily
- Form oxides that are acidic
- Are good oxidizing agent
- Have higher electronegativities.

Answer:
Chemical properties of metal:-
- The density of metals is usually high.
- Metals are malleable and ductile.
- Metals form an alloy with other metals or non metals.
- Some metals react with air and corrode. For example :- Iron.
- Metals are in a solid state at room temperature. Expect for Mercury. Mercury is in liquid state.
- Metals produce metal oxide and hydrogen gas while reacting with water.
- Soluble metal oxide dissolve in water and create metal hydroxide.
Chemical properties of non metal :-
- Non metals are poor conductor of heat and electricity.
- Non metals are not malleable and ductile.
- They react with other non metals in high temperature. But not react witj air at room temperature.
- They react with metals more than non metals.
- White phoporous is only non metal that react with air to form its oxides by burning.
- They do not form alloy. However, non metals like carbon, silicon.
- Different non metals have different reaction. They have a low density.
