Question

non metal is Rection with acid
​

Answer 1

Generally, the non-metals do not react with dilute acids. This is because when a substance reacts with acids, it provides electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. Non-metals are themselves acceptors of electrons so there is no way they can donate electrons to the hydrogen ion of the acid. Hence, non-metals in general do not react with dilute acids.

However, some none metals are the exceptions which react with acid and oxidized to their corresponding oxide. Like, P,S, carbon etc.

Reaction of non metals with bases are complex. It does not lead to the formation of a single product. Different products are formed in different reactions

Answer 2

Non-metals do not generally react with acids because when a substance, reacts with acids it provides electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. Non-metals are acceptors of electrons and hence, they cannot donate electrons.

1] Metals are malleable and ductile.Non-metals do not have such properties.

2] Metals are good conductors of heat but non-metals are poor conductors.

3] On burning, metals react with oxygen to produce metal oxides and hydrogen gas. Generally,non - metals do not react with water.

4] Some metals react with water to produce metal hydroxides which are basic in nature.Non metals react with oxygen to produce non- metallic oxides which are acidic in nature.

5] Metals react with acids and produce metal salts and hydrogen gas. Generally, non - metals do not react with acids.

6] Metals are lustrous whereas non-metals have no luster.
