उत्तर
This statement is false.
Explanation:
Non-metals do not react with dilute acids because they are electron acceptors and cannot donate electrons to reduce hydrogen ions (H+) into hydrogen gas. Instead, active metals react with dilute acids to displace hydrogen. It is this displaced hydrogen gas that burns with a characteristic ‘pop’ sound.
