Chapter 25, Problem 25.3QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chemical and physical properties of chlorine (Cl2) and magnesium (Mg) have to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Metals: It is an element which has the following properties: solids at room temperature except mercury, hard in the solid state, good conductors of both heat and electricity, ductility, high density, malleability, high melting and boiling point, tendency to form basic oxides by reacting with oxygen, tendency to form positive ion when they looses the electron and get shiny by polishing.

Nonmetals: It is an element or substance but not metal, they have the following properties: they may exist as solid, liquid or gas at room temperature, easily breakable, bad conductors of both heat and electricity, melting and boiling points are low, when they react with oxygen they will form acidic oxides, tendency to form negative ions when they looses electron except hydrogen, which forms positive ion, compare to metals, nonmetals will look dull in nature.
