Metals and Non-Metals: Compounds and their Reactions

In this quiz, you are going to have various questions based on metals and non-metals, their compounds. Metals are generally highly reactive so you will find questions based on the reactions of metals with other elements.

Mg Na P Ca

Which among the following alloys contains mercury as one of its constituents?

Stainless steel Alnico Solder Zinc amalgam

The electronic configurations of three elements X, Y and Z are X — 2, 8; Y — 2, 8, 7 and Z — 2, 8, 2. Which of the following is correct?

X is a metal Y is a metal Z is a non-metal Y is a non-metal and Z is a metal

Which of the following statement is or are incorrect about non-metals?

All the non-metals are solids or gases, except bromine which is a liquid non-metal at the room temperature. Diamond and graphite, are also non-metals. Non-metals are the elements which form negative ions by gaining electrons or accepting electrons. Oxygen is the only non-metal element which loses electrons to form positive ions, Oxygen ions (O+).
