Question

State whether true or false: Generally, non-metals react with acids.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Non - metals behavior with acids :

• Generally, non-metals do not prefer to react with acids.
• Since, when a substance reacts with acid it provides electrons to the H⁺ ions.
• But in the case of non-metals, they accept electrons by themselves.
• Hence, non-metals normally do not react with dilute acids.

This statement is true.
