प्रश्न
Differentiate between metal and non-metal on the basis of their chemical properties.
उत्तर १
| Metal | Non-metal |
| Metals are electropositive. | Non-metals are electronegative. |
| Oxides of metal are basic in nature. | Oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature. |
| Metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids. | They can’t replace hydrogen from dilute acids. |
| Metals form chlorides which are electrovalent or ionic compounds. | Non-metals form chlorides which are covalent compounds. |
| They react with water to form oxides and hydroxides. Some metals react with cold water, some with hot water, and some with steam. | They do not react with water. |
उत्तर २
| Chemical properties | Metals | Non-metals | |
| (i) | Reaction with oxygen | Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides. | Non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic or neutral oxides. |
| (ii) | Reaction with water | Metals react with water to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas | Non-metals do not react with water. |
(iii) |
Reaction with dilute acid | Metals react with dilute acids to form metal salts and they displace hydrogen from acids. | Non-metals do not react with dilute acids. |
