difference between chemical properties of metals and non metals |
| Answer» \tMetalsNon-MetalsMetals form basic oxides.Non-metals form acidic oxides or neutral oxidesMetals displace hydrogen from water (or steam).Non-metals do not react with water (or steam)Metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids.Non-metals do not react with dilute acidsMetals form ionic chlorides with chlorine.Non-metals form covalent chlorides with chlorine,Metals usually do not combine with hydrogen. Only a few reactive metals combine with hydrogen to form ionic metal hydrides.Non- metals react with hydrogen to form stable, covalent hydrides.\t | |
