Chemical Property of Metals:
Usually have 1-3 electrons in their outer shell.
Lose their valence electrons easily.
Form oxides that are basic.
Are good reducing agents.
Have lower electronegative.
Chemical Property of Non Metals:
Usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shell.
Gain or share valence electrons easily.
Form oxides that are acidic.
Are good oxidizing agents.
Have higher electronegative.
