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

How do you know if a bond is ionic or convalent?
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal. A covalent bond forms between two nonmetals, where electrons are shared between the atoms. The electronegativity difference between the atoms helps determine the type of bond—larger differences indicate ionic bonds and smaller differences indicate covalent bonds.
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Do metaloids contain metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
What is a chemical bond between 2 non-metals?
A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between two non-metal atoms. This bond forms when the atoms have similar electronegativities and want to achieve a stable electron configuration by sharing electrons.
Is boron a non metal and why?
Boron is classified as a metalloid, meaning it exhibits characteristics of both metals and non-metals. It is a poor conductor of electricity like non-metals, but it can form covalent bonds like non-metals. Boron's classification as a metalloid is due to its intermediate properties between metals and non-metals.
Is nitrogen gas ionic or covalent?
Nitrogen forms a diatomic molecule, or N2 Covalent bonds form between non-metals and non-metals Ionic bonds form between non-metals and metals. Because nitrogen is a non-metal and bonds with itself it forms a covalent bond.
What forms an anion?
generally, non-metals
What forms anion?
generally, non-metals

Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
What element forms compounds with nonmetals?
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
What forms when nonmetals and metals are combined?
When non metals and metals are combined, the result is an ionic compound. Often, an ionic compound salt.
What type of atoms forms positive ions metals or non metals?
Metals form positive ions because they lose electrons.
How are semi metals related to metals and non metals?
They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.
What compounds are formed with the element of chlorine?
chlorine forms ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals.
What type of bond with non metal magnesium?
Generally magnesium forms ionic bonds with non-metals.
Do metaloids contain metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
