Question

what is thechemical property of metal

Answer 1

the chemical properties of metals are as follows:

1)Metals react with oxygen to produce basic oxides.

For example: 2Cu+O2 --> 2CuO
copper+oxygen->Copper Oxide

2)Metals react with water to produce Oxides or Hydroxides and hydrogen

for example: Zn+H20-->ZnO+H2
Zinc+Water->Zinc Oxide+Hydrogen

3) Metals react with dilute acids such as dilute sulphuric and hydrochloric acid to form the corresponding salt and liberate hydrogen

For example: Mg+H2SO4-->MgSO4+H
Magnesium+Sulphuric acid-
-->Magnesium sulphate +Hydrogen


3)Only some metals react with strong bases such as Sodium Hydroxide to release Hydrogen gas.
