Question

What happens when a metal and a Non-metal reacts with air and water. Write balanced

chemical equations in both the cases (At least 3).​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reaction of non-metals with water

Sulphur–Non-metal—does not react with water. Phosphorus is a very reactive non-metal element. If phosphorus is kept open in air,it react with the oxygen of air and catches fire.So,in order to protect phosphorus from atmospheric air,it is stored in a bottle containing water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals react with water and produce a metal oxide and hydrogen gas. Metal oxides that are soluble in water dissolve in it to further form metal hydroxide. But all metals do not react with water. Metals like potassium and sodium react violently with cold water.

When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms, forming ions. The resulting compound is called an ionic compound
