Answer
(i) Metals form positively charged ions, whereas non-metals form negatively charged ions.
(ii) Metals have 1 to 3 electrons in their valence shells, whereas non-metals have 4 to 7 electrons in their valence shells.
(iii) The oxides of metals are basic in nature, whereas oxides of non-metals are acidic or neutral in nature.
