Non metals are elements that are not metals such as iron, and silver. They usually have four to eight electrons in their outer shell, gain or share valence electrons easily and form oxides that are acidic.

Is metal being cut into wire a physical or chemical property?

The ability to pull metals into wires is called ductility. Metals are ductile, non-metals are not. Ductility is a physical property.


The ability for metals to rust is a physical property of metals?

Actually, rusting is a chemical reaction that occurs on the surface of metals when they come into contact with oxygen and moisture. It is not a physical property of metals, but rather a chemical property related to their reactivity with oxygen.

Why are bells not made of non metals?

Metals have the property of producing a ringing sound when struck. Therefore, metals are sonorous and have the property of "Sonority". Non-metals however, are not sonorous and hence are not used in bells. :D

Most of the chemical elements can be divided into 2 groups what are these 2 groups?

Chemical elements can be divided into metals and non-metals. Metals typically have properties like luster, conductivity, and malleability, while non-metals are generally less shiny, poor conductors, and more brittle.

Give one property that is typical of non metals?

Physical properties of nonmetals are generally just the opposite of metals so: - No luster (dull appearance) - Not ductile - Low density - Low melting point - Poor conductor - Not malleable The chemical properties of non metals just tend to gain electrons Hope that helps


It is possible that rice pulling property in non metals?

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim of "rice pulling" property in non-metals. This concept is often tied to pseudoscience and fraudulent practices. Non-metals do not possess any inherent property that can attract rice or any other material.
