Are nonmetals solid at room temperature?
Well, non metals are a gas at room temperature and so, they were never really a solid in the first place.
What is the most common state of nonmetals at room temperature?
Solid?
What state of matter are most elements at room temperature?
At room temperature most of the elements are solid. except Cs,Ga,Br,Fr,Hg (these are liquid) and nonmetals which are gaseous..except Br which being a nonmetal is not a gas.
What physical and chemical properties are among the nonmetals?
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity are non metals. A metal is an element that has luster, is a good conductor of heat and electricity, is malleable, and is ductile
What are three major categories of elements?
The three major categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity, and can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Is this true except for the group 18 elements most nonmetals readily form gas?
No. Group 18 elements are already gases Also also there are non metals that are solid at room temperature.
Are all solid elements metals?
No, some like Sulfur and Silicon are Nonmetals and Metalloids respectively.
Are metallic elements solid at room temperature?
no not all metallic are solid at room temperature.
What is the state of matter of most nonmetals?
Some are solid (eg carbon) some are gaseous (eg oxygen) and one is liquid (bromine).
What is the state at room temperature of a non metal?
Nonmetals can be solid, liquid and gas at room temperature.
Are most elements a solid liquid or gas at a room temperature?
most of the elements are solids at room temperature.
