Question

what are the chemical properties of metals and non metals

Answer 1

Chemical properties of metals:-1)Easily corrodible 2)Can lose electrons 3)Form basic oxides 4)Have lower electronegativities 4)Acts as very good reducing agentsChemical properties of non-metals:-1)Generally, contain 4-8 electrons in the outer shell 2)Readily lose or gain valence electrons 3)Form acidic oxides 4)High electronegative elements 5)Great oxidizing agents.

Answer 2

hello friend...

following are some chemical properties of metals and non-metals.

1. when metal reacts with oxygen it gives metal oxide while, non-metal reacts with oxygen it gives acidic or neutral oxide.
2. when metal reacts with dilute acid it gives metal salt and hydrogen while non-metal doesn't show any reaction.
3. when metal reacts with water it gives metal oxide and hydrogen gas while non-metal doesn't show any reaction.

hope it will help you...
best of luck...
