how do metals and nonmetals react with acid​

Sagot :

Answer:

Metals react with acids to form hydrogen gas with a pop sound and non metals do not react with acids. This is because a substance undergoing react with acids, donates electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. But non metals acceptor of electrons and hence they do not donate to the hydrogen ion of the acid. As a result they don't react with dilute acid but there are some exceptions.
