What forms between metals and non metals?
These are the properties of metals and non metals: Metals: Have a tendency to donate free electrons. Displace hydrogen gas from dilute acids React with oxygen to produce basic oxides React with hydrogen to produce Hydrides Metals are solids Non-metals: Have a tendency to receive electrons. Non metals maybe solids,liquids or gases Non metals are not malleable Non metals are not ductile
