What is the chemial property of metal and non metal

Answer» Chemical properties of metal\tThe density of metals is usually high.\tMetals are malleable and ductile.\tMetals form an alloy with other metals or non – metals.\tSome metals react with air and corrode. For e.g. Iron.\tMetals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Lead is an exception.\tGenerally, metals are in a solid state at room temperature. Except for Mercury. Mercury is in a liquid state.\tMany metals produce metal oxide by burning in the oxygen of the air. Highly reactive metals react violently when they’re burnt in oxygen.\tMetals like sodium and potassium are stored in oil as they react with air in seconds. They’re highly reactive metals.\tLess reactive metals like gold, silver, platinum, etc do not tarnish easily. They stay shiny and lustrous.\tMetals produce metal oxide and hydrogen gas while reacting with water.\tSoluble metal oxides dissolve in water and create metal hydroxide.Chemical properties of Non metal\tNonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Graphite and Gas carbon are exceptions.\tUnlike metals, nonmetals aren’t malleable and ductile.\tNonmetals react more with metals than with nonmetals.\tUsually, nonmetals react with other nonmetals in high temperature.\tMost nonmetals do not react with air in room temperature.\tWhite phosphorus is the only nonmetal that reacts with air to form its oxide by burning.\tUsually, nonmetals do not react with water. Except for Chlorine, chlorine dissolves in water to form an acidic solution.\tNonmetals have a low density.\tThey do not form alloys. However, nonmetals like carbon, silicon and phosphorous.\tNonmetals exist in all states of matter at room temperature.
