Answer

  Metals   Non-metals
1. Have a strong tendency to lose electrons to from cations. 1. Non-metals are strong tendecy to accept electrons to from anions.
2. Metals are strong reducing agents. 2. Non-matels are strong oxidising agent.
3. Metal have low ionization enthalpies. 3. Non-metals have high ionization enthalpies.
4. Metals form basic oxides and ionic compounds. 4. Non-metals from acidic oxides and covalents compounds.
