Antimony is like a nonmetal in that it is a brittle crystalline solid has poor electrical and heat conductivity and has a low boiling point. However it is also like a metal because of its shiny silver?

How do you arrange the terms nonmetal metal and metal Lloyd according to increasing heat an electrical conductivity?
It would actually be metal, metalloid, and nonmetals!!! :)
Is glass considered a nonmetal?
No. Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material
What happens to conductivity when moving across periodic table?
metal--> nonmetal --> metalloid
Is antimony non metal or a metallic?
Antimony is a metalloid which means that it has metallic and nonmetallic properties and it is element 51 in the Periodic Table lying in the diagonal metalloids in the p group. The metallic and nonmetallic properties may be, for example, that it is grey and shiny like a metal but it may also be brittle and not conduct heat and electricity like a nonmetal.
Properties of a nonmetal?
Generally, non-metals have/are: - low electrical conductivity - low thermal conductivity - lower density - brittle (in solid form) - dull (in solid form) - low melting points and low boiling points - high electronegativity - negative valency They also form they form acidic oxides, whereas metals form basic oxides.

Metalloids
Is antimony a nonmetal?
No, it is a metalloid
Why conductivity of diamond is highest being a nonmetal?
It would help if you specify whether you are talking about thermal conductivity, or electrical conductivity. Diamond certainly doesn't has the highest electrical conductivity. Its thermal conductivity is one of the highest known, and - if a synthetic diamond is made from pure (99.9%) C-12, it is indeed the highest. The Wikipedia article attributes this to a strong covalent bonding.

Why does corrosion of metal decrease conductivity?
When metal corrodes, it forms an ionic bond with some corrosive nonmetal such as oxygen or sulfur, and once it forms such a bond, its valence electrons become tremendously less mobile, since they are caught by the nonmetal. The high electrical conductivity of metal depends upon the mobility of the valance electrons.
Is antimony a nonmetal metal or a metalloid?
It is a metalloid. See the related link for more information.
Which of these properties would be more likely to be associated with a metal than a nonmetal?
Examples: malleability, ductility, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, solid state, magnetism, high melting point, etc.
Is glass considered a nonmetal?
No. Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material
How does being a metalloid metal or nonmetal affect conductivity?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity.
What happens to conductivity when moving across periodic table?
metal--> nonmetal --> metalloid
Antimony is more or less metallic than arsenic?
Antimony is more metallic than Arsenic. As we already know, metallic nature increases down a group. As Antimony lies just below Arsenic in Group 15, it is said to have more metallic character.
What is Selenium and what is it composed of?
Selenium is the chemical element of atomic number 34, a gray crystalline nonmetal with semiconducting properties.
