Give reasons for the following
i) Zinc oxide is considered an amphoteric oxide.
ii) Non-metals in general do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
iii) Metals conduct electricity.
i) Zinc oxide is considered an amphoteric oxide because it shows both acidic and basic behaviour.
ii) Non-metals do not react with dilute acids hence do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
iii) thatMetals conduct electricity because they contain free electrons which can move easily through the metal and conduct electric current.
