C3 — Metals and Non-Metals
Metals and Non-Metals is Chapter 3 of CBSE Class 10 Science and one of the highest-scoring chapters in the board exam — if a student understands it properly. The reactivity series, ionic bonding, corrosion, extraction of metals — these topics carry significant marks every year. This Texcellency book on Metals and Non-Metals makes every one of these concepts genuinely easy to understand for CBSE Class 10 students.
What this CBSE Class 10 Metals and Non-Metals book covers: Physical and chemical properties of metals and non-metals with clear comparisons. How metals react with oxygen, water, acids and other metal salts — explained with logic, not just memorisation. The reactivity series — what it is, why it matters, and how to use it in exam questions. Ionic bond formation between metals and non-metals — simplified with visual analogies. Extraction of metals from ores — the entire process made step by step simple. Corrosion, rusting, and prevention methods explained with real-life examples. Alloys and their everyday applications.
Why this book works better than NCERT for Class 10: Students often memorise the reactivity series without understanding why metals behave differently. This Texcellency book explains the logic behind every reaction, every property, and every process — so students can answer any board exam question confidently, even the application-based and competency-based questions that CBSE has been increasing every year.
Who should buy this book: CBSE Class 10 students finding Chemistry difficult. Students wanting to self-study without a tutor. Parents looking for a clear, engaging supplementary science book for their child. Students targeting 90+ marks in the CBSE Science board exam 2027.
Based on the latest CBSE 2026-27 syllabus. Also available as part of the complete CBSE Class 10 Science Books Bundle — all 13 chapters at just ₹999.
