Question

Match either metal or non-metal to each appropriate description.

	Atoms that typically have large ionization energies.
.	Atoms that typically have large negative electron affinities.
	Atoms that tend to gain electrons when making ions.
	Atoms that tend to form positive ions.
	Forms oxides that are acidic in aqueous solution.
	Solids are typically brittle.

Answer 1

Metal

Atoms that tend to form positive ions Due to thrir large size of atom they can loose electron easily so they for cation easily.

Solids are typically brittle.

Non Metal

Atoms that typically have large ionization energies Because atomic size is small

Atoms that typically have large negative electron affinities Dueto the small size they can gain electron easily and releases large amount energy

Atoms that tend to gain electrons when making ions due to their tendency gainig electron it will get negative charge

Forms oxides that are acidic in aqueous solution. Nonmetal can only give the these oxides but metal can give the basic oxides.
