Who reacts with metal bases or acids?

Metal oxides are basic in nature and react with acids to form salts and water. Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature and react with bases to form salts and water. Metals generally react with acids to form salts and hydrogen gas.


Do Acids react with nonmetals?

Non metals do not react with acids usually a metal reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas while this is not observed with non metals, this is because metals are electro-positive . therefore metals can give electrons to hydrogen which is liberated as hydrogen gas while is not observed with non metals. Fe + H2+SO42- ----------> FeSO4 + H2 2H+ + 2e- ---------> H2


Is hydrogen metallic or non metallic'?

Under standard conditions, hydrogen is a non-metal (H2 gas,) but chemically, it can actually behave like a metal. Often, it bonds with other non-metals in the same proportion as other group 1 elements, all of which (except hydrogen) are alkali metals. It can also bond with metals as a hydride, where it acts more like a non-metal. Acids can lose a hydrogen ion, which has a charge of +1, just like many metals. Finally, under extreme pressure, hydrogen can actually become a metallic liquid; it is theorized that Jupiter's core is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen.

Are non metals important?

The non-metals carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen are the basis of all life on the planet.


Why hydrogen is placed above alkali metals and not above non metals in modern periodic table?

The electron configuration of hydrogen is similar with that of alkali metals.


Why hydrogen included in all metals?

Hydrogen is not included in all metals. In fact, hydrogen is not a metal but a non-metal gas. While hydrogen can interact with some metals to form compounds like metal hydrides, it is not a component of all metals.
