Comparison Of Chemical Properties Of Metals And Non-metals
Metals on reacting with water form metal oxides or metal hydroxides and release H2 gas. Non-metals cannot give electrons to hydrogen in water to be released as H2 gas. Non-metals have no reaction with water. Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
Answer:
Some of the chemical properties of metals are listed below.
Easily corrodible
Can lose electrons
Form basic oxides
Have low electronegativities
Good reducing agents
Properties of Non-Metals
Physical Properties of Non-metals

Poor conductors of electricity and heat
Non-Ductile metals
Brittle solids
Maybe solids, liquids or gases at room temperature
