Element that is not considered a metal. Like non-metals (hydrogen,carbon), noble gases (helium,...). I'm not sure if there is a non-metal among rare elements.
Metals typically don't form normal bonds, but rather stick together by "electron clouds" which allows some of them conduct electrical current...

-poor conductors of electricity and heat
-form acidic oxides
-are brittle and not malleable or ductile
-has a lower density
-very low melting and boiling points
-have a high electronegativity

∙ 12y agoMetals are generally solids, shiny, good conductors, malleable and ductile.
Non-Metals can be solids, liquids or gases, they are dull, poor conductors, brittle and they are not ductile.

∙ 9y agoNon-metals are volatile. They are also good insulators of both electricity, and heat.Ê There are seventeen non-metals, and most of them are gases.

no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
What are the three main classifications of elements on the periodic table of element?
Metals, non-metals, and metalloids
Is chlorofluorocarbons a metal or a non-metal?
It is non-metals because if we look at the elements that it can consists of which are carbon (C), chlorine (Cl2), and fluorine (F2); They are all non-metals therefore chlorofluorocarbons are non-metals.
Is NaCl a metal or non-metal?
Sodium chloride is a compound, not a chemical element.

Why iron is a metal and sulfur nis a non metal?
if u have studied about metals and non metals then u must be knowing that it is because of the difference in the properties of metals and non metals.
What forms between metals and non metals?
These are the properties of metals and non metals: Metals: Have a tendency to donate free electrons. Displace hydrogen gas from dilute acids React with oxygen to produce basic oxides React with hydrogen to produce Hydrides Metals are solids Non-metals: Have a tendency to receive electrons. Non metals maybe solids,liquids or gases Non metals are not malleable Non metals are not ductile
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
What is a non-metal metal?
The elements on a periodic table are sorted into two different categories - 'metals' and 'non-metals', so there isn't actually something called a 'non-metal metal'. Examples of non-metals include oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
Are non-metals non conductors?
metal
