CBSE Class 8 Science Worksheet

This document contains a summative assessment assignment on metals and non-metals for Class 8 science. It includes multiple choice and short answer questions testing students' understanding of key concepts like: 1) The properties of metals like malleability and ductility. Metals react with acids to produce hydrogen gas. 2) Differences between physical properties of metals and non-metals. Metals are good conductors while non-metals are not. 3) Displacement reactions where a more reactive metal can replace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. 4) The reactivity series and how more reactive metals displace less reactive ones from solutions of their salts.
