Metals:
Metals are easily corrodible.They have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in the valence shell. So they can lose electrons easily.Metals produce the basic oxidesThese forms acidic oxide.They are electropositive in nature.These acts as a good reducing agent.
Non-metals:
Nonmetals are not easily corrodible.Nonmetals own more than 4 electrons in their valence shell. So they can easily gain electrons.These forms acidic oxide.These are electronegative in nature.They act as a great oxidizing agent.
