CHAPTER 4: METALS & NON-METALS

Physical properties
of
metals and non- metals
PHOSPHORUS CARBON SULPHUR
Chemical change:

A substance can completely change into different

substance and a new substance is formed.

Metals and non metals react differently with

oxygen,water,acids,bases,etc and produce new
substances.
REACTION of Metals WITH OXYGEN:
different metals combine with oxygen to form metal
oxide
*Metals+oxygen----------->metal oxide ---basic in nature
* 4Na+O2----->2Na2O RED TO BLUE
*2Mg+O2------>2MgO
Non Metals
Non metals +oxygen---->non metallic oxide
C+O2-->CO2
S+O2---->SO2 acidic in nature BLUE TO RED
1. Metal oxide is basic oxide as they form bases when dissolved in
water.
Turn red litmus blue.

2. Non-metallic oxides are called acidic oxide as they form acids

when dissolved in water
Turn blue litmus to red litmus.

CO2+H2O--->H2CO3 Carbonic acid

SO2+H2O------.>H2SO3 Sulphurous acid

NOBLE METALS
The metals which occur in the
free state are called Noble
metals
Eg:Gold ,silver, platinum
