non metals are generally not hard. However DIAMOND is the hardest naturally occurring substance
Yes they do break easily as their electrons are not free to move
that's depend on the element. all the non metal are not weak physically.
Because its atoms are losely pack .... I guess...
Only some nonmetals are brittle: carbon, sulfur, selenium, phosphorous.
Gases have not hardness.
yes ionic compounds will shatter they are very brittle because when they form a crystal lattice each individual formula unit is not attracted to each other so they will break apart easily
nonmetals are located in the right side of the periodic table. The Ionization energy(the amount of energy used to remove an electron) tends to increase from left to right across a period.It is difficult to remove the electrons from the right side because they are becoming stable
Some do, some do not. It depends on a property called brittleness.
I was shattered.
nonmetals
the harder one

Yes,but they are hollow and shatter easily
A metal will not shatter if dropped becuase a nonmetal can be anything, so, if you drop a metal, there is no possible way it can break.
Depends on the application. Glass can shatter, but is more resistant to scratches. Polycarbonate is lighter, doesn't shatter or crack easily, but has a fairly soft surface that scratches easily.
Yes, they form an ionic bond, which is an easily formed bond.
Since its less dense than normal glass, it will shatter or crack easily. If you put it in the oven more than 5 or 6 times it might shatter due to the heat.

diamonds are stronger than glass, therefore, glass shatters more easily.

Nonmetals are very dull looking and are easily broken compared to a normal piece of metal. Nonmetals have high ionization energies and electro negativities. They are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity.Solid nonmetals are generally brittle, with little or no metallic luster. Most nonmetals have the ability to gain electrons easily. Nonmetals display a wide range of chemical properties and reactivities.
