FAQs on Class 7 Science Chapter 4 Very Short Question Answer - The World of Metals and Non-metals

1. What are the main differences between metals and non-metals?
Ans. Metals are generally solid at room temperature, shiny, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals can be solids, liquids, or gases, are not shiny, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
2. How do metals and non-metals react with oxygen?
Ans. Metals usually react with oxygen to form metal oxides, which are often basic in nature. Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metal oxides, which are usually acidic or neutral.
3. What are some common uses of metals and non-metals in everyday life?
Ans. Metals are used in construction (like steel), electronics (like copper), and transportation (like aluminum). Non-metals are found in products like water (H2O), fertilizers (nitrogen), and medicines (sulfur).
4. Can you give examples of metals and non-metals?
Ans. Common examples of metals include iron, copper, and gold. Examples of non-metals include oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.
5. How are metals and non-metals classified in the periodic table?
Ans. In the periodic table, metals are found on the left side and in the center, while non-metals are located on the right side. This classification helps in understanding their properties and reactivity.
