The non-metals carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen are the basis of all life on the planet.
Nothing in the World is UNIMPORTANT.We need more non metals than metals....our life is the proof
This distinction is not adequate.
Non metals
Non metals
all are non metals
non metals
They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.
My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
They are in between the metals and non metals
"Dense" is a property that can describe both metals and non-metals. Metals in general tend to be denser than non-metals due to their atomic structure, but there are exceptions. It's important to consider the specific element in question when determining its density.
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
Ferrous metals are metals that contain iron, or more commonly recognised as magnetic.Non ferrous metals don't contain iron therefore aren't magneticFerrous materials contain iron. Non Ferrous material do not contain iron.
