Question

why do metals react easily with acids?

Answer 1

Because they lose ions to change hydrogen gas to water... While non metals doesn't lose ions and do not react with acids

Answer 2

When the acid dissolves in water, hydrogen splits off from the base and the solution becomes a powerful solvent. Hydrochloric acid dissolves the less active metals, such as zinc and magnesium, easily. It dissolves the more-resistant iron, copper and related metalsless easily, or not at all.
