Nonmetals can be solid, liquid or gaseous.
Everything has a 'State of Matter' be it Solid, Liquid or Gas. Non-metals are either gases or solids, with the exception of Bromine , which os a liquid.
The atoms of non-metals are covalently bonded in a molecule. These molecules are joint by weak intermolecular forces of attraction which are easily overcame. Hence the boiling point is low and usually below room temperature so at room temperature, they are gaseous.
1) Elements can be classified by their state at room temperature; by whether they exist in nature; and by whether they are metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.
The regions or sections of the periodic table of elements are, the metals, the transition state elements, the nonmetals, the noble gases, and underneath those regions, the lanthanide series and the actinide series. Hydrogen is sometimes placed above all the other sections, by itself. Technically it is a metal (even though it does not look like one under normal conditions). It has a single valence electron.
Hi there. If you have a periodic table, it should indicate what matter state each element is at room temperature. From what I can see, 6 non metals exist as solids at room temperature. These non-metals are carbon, sulfur, phosphorous, selenium, iodine, and astatine.
See the link below for information on the elements and their properties
The nonmetals consist of Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb) and Tellurium (Te). At 25 degrees Celsius (room temp) all of these are in a solid state. It is important to remember though, that gases can also be considered non metals, though because, obviously, they are not metals.

There are 2 states of matter. They are solids,liquids and gasses.
Non-metals are any of the non-metallic elements found in Groups 14, 15 and 16 of the periodic table. At room temperature, most non-metals exist as either gases or solids.
Most nonmetals are not liquid at room temperature, as they are gasses. The only nonmetal that is in a liquid state at room temperature is bromine.
Solid?

the three metals are Francium, Mercury and Bromine
