Is zinc a metal or semi metal?
Zinc is a metal. However, because with HCl it forms ZnCl2 and with NaOH it forms Na2ZnO2 it is classed as amphoteric.
Is zinc an active nonmetal?
NO!!! Zinc is a metal. It will react readcily with mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid.
Why is zinc the only metal to react with citric acid out of gold zinc and copper?
no
Why alcohols do not react with NaOH?
Alcohols react with NaOH, as ethanol forms sodium ethoxide with NaOH.
Why does potassium react with water but zinc does not?
Potassium is an alkali metal with one valence electron more reactive than zinc which has completely filled d orbitals. Hence potassium will react with water and not zinc.

Is zinc the oxidizing or reducing agent when it reacts with gold and cyanide?
Zinc (metal) does not react with gold (metal), neither with cyanide (salt).
Why alcohols do not react with NaOH?

What metal does not react with cold water but reacts with steam when heated?
Iron and Zinc
Why happen when water react with sodium metal?
It forms NaOH... And its reacts with explosion. .depends on quantity of Na
Why powdered zinc act more vigorously than metal zinc?
Powdered zinc has a greater surface area giving it a greater chance to react with a substance.
Why do zinc and iron react similar to aluminum?
All these elements are metal. They have same properties.
An active metal and halogen react to form a?
A metal and halogen react to form an ionic bond in which the metal gives an eletron to the halogen Most basic example would be table salt NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H20
Why zinc displaces sodium in sodium hydroxide inspite of being less reactive than it?
Because a reactive metal displaces less reactive metal from its salt,& NaOH is a base.
