State whether following statements are True or False: (a) Generally, non-metals react with acids. (b) Sodium is a very reactive metal. (c) Copper displaces zinc from zinc sulphate solution. (d) Coal can be drawn into wires.

a) Generally, non-metals react with acid → False
b) Sodium is a very reactive metal → True
c) Copper displaces zinc from zinc sulphate solution → False
d) Coal can be drawn into wire → False.
Note:
(a) Metals react with acid because metals are electropositive, ∴ metals can give electrons to hydrogen gas while non-metals do not.
(c) Zinc is more reactive metal and hence it displaces copper from copper sulphate solution.
(d) Coal is a non-metal and that is why it is not ductile in nature.
