6. Chemical properties of non-metals
• REACTIONSOF NON METALS
A) withhydrogen
non metals like oxygen,nitrogen,chlorine,fluorine,etcformcorresponding hydrideswithhydrogen
withhwater,ammonia, hydrogen chloride,hydrogen fluoride.
B) with oxygen
non metals formoxideswithoxygen.
e.g.nitrogenoxides(NO,NO2,N2O5,etc),carbondioxide,etc
C) withbases
non metals reactwith basesformingsalt.
e.g.calciumhydroxide and chlorineformbleaching powder.
D) withacids
generallyno reaction takesplace betweenacidsand non metals
E) with water
no reactiontakesplace betweenwaterand non metalseither.
