- Carbon is a non metal. It react with oxygen to give an acidic oxide, and its compounds are molecular substances with covalent bonding. It has three pure forms (allotropes) which are diamond, buckminsterfullerene and graphite. The first two contain covalent bonds and do not conduct electricity, as you would expect for a non-metal, but graphite also contains a delocalised bond, which gives it some similarities to a metal, including good conduction of electricity.

∙ 14y agoIt is a non-metal. All elements on the right side of the Periodic Table are non metals. The only exceptions are Boron(B), Silicon(Si), Arsenic(As), Tellurium(Te), and Astatine(At), all of which are metalloids; as well as the currently un-named elements, (Uub, Uut, Uuq, Uup, Uuh.) are considered "poor metals."

Carbon is a nonmetal. Thus this is a nonmetal oxide.
Is CBr4 metal or non-metal?
Yes
Is a pencil a nonmetal?
The lead of a pencil is made mostly of the nonmetal carbon but the rest of the pencil is neither metal nor nonmetal (except for the bit of metal near the eraser) because it is not an element.
Steel is a metal or non metal?
Steel is mostly iron, which is a metal, but a lot of steel contains carbon, which is a nonmetal.
