What are the mojor differece between metals and non metals ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Metals are electropositive (lower IE) element with less negative electron gain enthalpies. They are good reducing agents which from basic oxide and inoic compounds. Non metals are electronegative (high IE) elements with more nagative electron gain enthalpies.
