Lesson: Chemical Properties of Metals and Nonmetals Science

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe and compare the chemical properties of metals and nonmetals.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

describe the reactions of metals with acids,
describe the reactions between metals and nonmetals with oxygen,
compare the properties of metallic and nonmetallic oxides,
link the reactions of metals with acids and water to the reactivity series of metals.

Q1:

What type of substance is formed when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water?

Q2:

Complete the following with the correct chemical formula of the product, or products, we get when carbon dioxide dissolves in water:

Q3:

What gas is produced when a metal, such as magnesium, reacts with hydrochloric acid?
