Answer»

ANSWER

Metals are electro-positive.

Non-metals are electronegative.

Metals REACTS with oxygen to form basic oxides.

4Na+O 2→2Na 2O

Non-metals react with oxygen to form neutral or acidic oxide.

C+O 2 →CO 2

Metal oxides and HYDROXIDES bonds have ionic bonds.

Non-metal oxides and hydroxides have covalent bonds.

Metals react with water to form hydroxide and hydrogen.

2Na+2H 2

O→2NaOH+H 2

Non-metals do not react with water.

Metals react with DILUTE acids to form salt and H

. Non-metals do not react with dilute acid and they can not displace hydrogen.

Metals react as reducing agent by donating electrons.

Na→Na + +e −

Non-metals are OXIDIZING AGENTS that can gain the electrons.

Cl 2+e− →Cl −
