Question

Using zinc and sulphur as examples, explain how metals and non-metals can be classified on the basis of their reaction with dilute acids.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metal react with acids and produce metal salts and hydrogen gas. Generally, non-metals do not react with acids. Some metals react with bases to produce hydrogen gas. More relative metals displace less relative metals from their compound in aqueous solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metal react with acids and produce metal salts and hydrogen gas. Generally, non-metals do not react with acids. Some metals react with bases to produce hydrogen gas. More relative metals displace less relative metals from their compound in aqueous solution.
