It really depends on the type of acid and the metal. Metals like gold and platinum (and others metals which are called the noble metals) are impervious to acids except for aqua regia which is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. Some metals like copper won't react with acids unless there is also an oxidizer present like hydrogen peroxide and then some metals like zinc will react with most acids readily.

Which affect metals base or acid?
Usually acids are known to affect metals. this rule applies for acid + metal reactions. An acid + a metal reacts to give a metal salt + hydrogen Eg: Zinc + Hydrochloric acid reacts to give zinc chloride + HydrogenThe above answer is correct, but should not be taken to mean that only acids affect metals. A concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide dissolves aluminum quite quickly.
What are the effects of acid on non-metals?
It depends on the acid, and it depends on the nonmetal. Just as different acids have different effects on a given metal, and a given acid has different effects on different metals, the same is true among nonmetals. Citric acid? Yummy! No problem. However, sulfuric acid or nitric acid can dissolve flesh down to nothing.
