What is the basis for the chemical properties of metals and non-metals? |
|
Answer» Metals are the elements which give away the electrons and those that accept electrons are generally non-metals. Metals are electropositive elements because they lose electrons to form positive ions. Non-metals are called electronegative elements because they gain electrons in chemical reactions to form negative ions. |
