How do metals and non-metals react with bases?
Most of the metals do not react with bases. However, some metals like aluminium, lead and zinc react with strong bases like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to make complex salts and hydrogen. Generally, non-metals do not react with bases. Sometimes some complex reactions take place between non-metals and bases
