write chemical properties of metal and non metal.
Answers
Chemical Properties of Metals
- Metals are very easily corrodible
- Metals are known to lose electrons
- Most metals when they come in contact with the oxygen they form metal oxides
- They have lower electronegativities, they are generally electropositive elements
- Metals can act as very good reducing agents.
Chemical Properties of Non-Metals
- Non-metals generally contain 4-8 electrons in the outer shell
- Non-metals can readily lose or gain valence electrons
- When they come in contact with oxygen, non-metals form acidic oxides
- Non-metals are highly electronegative elements
- These elements are great oxidizing agents
- Non-metals do not react with water
a solid material which is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.
e.g. iron, gold, silver, and aluminium, and alloys such as steel.

In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal.
Seventeen elements are generally classified as nonmetals: most are gases (hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon and radon); one is a liquid (bromine); and a few are solids (carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, andiodine).
