write difference between metals and non metals on the basis of their physical and chemical properties ?
(with examples)?(also write their uses)?
Answers
Physical properties of Metal:
1. Metals are generally hard.
2. Lustrous
3. Have high melting and boiling points.
4. Good conductor of electricity.
5. Ductile
6. Sonorous
Vice versa for the non metals
Chemical properties of metals and non metals
1. Metals combines with oxygen to form metal oxides.
Non metals combines with oxygen to give non metal oxides.
2. Metals react with water to give metal hydroxide.
Non Metalsdo not react with hydrogen.
3. Metals react with acids to give salt and hydrogen gas.
Non Metals react do not react with dilute acid.
See whether the ans helps you. I have given my time to write the answer.
Answer: Metals react with dilute acids to form salt and H2. Non-metals do not react with dilute acid and they can not displace hydrogen. Metals react as reducing agent by donating electrons. Non-metals are oxidizing agents that can gain the electrons
