Question

What are the major differences between metals and non-metals?

✓

Answer

	Metals		Non-metals
1.	Have a strong tendency to lose electrons to from cations.	1.	Non-metals are strong tendecy to accept electrons to from anions.
2.	Metals are strong reducing agents.	2.	Non-matels are strong oxidising agent.
3.	Metal have low ionization enthalpies.	3.	Non-metals have high ionization enthalpies.
4.	Metals form basic oxides and ionic compounds.	4.	Non-metals from acidic oxides and covalents compounds.
