Differentiate between metals and nonmetals in aqueous solution. A) Acidic anions are formed by metals in aqueous solution while nonmetals tend to form basic cations in aqueous solution. EliminateB) Acidic cations are formed by nonmetals in aqueous solution while metals tend to form basic anions in aqueous solution. C) Metals tend to form cations and be basic in aqueous solution while nonmetals tend to form anions and be acidic in aqueous solution. D) Nonmetals tend to form cations and be basic in aqueous solution while metals tend to form anions and be acidic in aqueous solution.
