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

Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
What type of bond forms between hydrogen and chlorine in a molecule of hydrochloric acid?
Covalent since non metals and non metals have covalent bonds but if it's a metal and non metal then it's an ionic bond
What element forms acidic oxides?
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.
Is metallic bonding between metals or non metals?
between 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.
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
What forms an anion?
generally, non-metals
What forms anion?
generally, non-metals

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 element forms compounds with nonmetals?
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
Is metallic bonding between metals or non metals?
between metals
What are the differences between ferrous and non ferrous metals?
ferrous metals contain iron, non-ferrous metals do not.
What does ionic bonding occur between?
metals and non-metals
What type of atoms forms positive ions metals or non metals?
Metals form positive ions because they lose electrons.
