Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.

Well - yes ... because to be thicker there must be more atoms.
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
No, non-metals are not malleable simply because of the way the atoms are arranged. In metals the atoms are arranged so they will just slide past each other but in non-metals the atoms are arranged differently so they on't just slide past each other.
Metals form positive ions because they lose electrons.

Metals are hard because of sea of electrons present inside it which makes its atoms closely packed together.
Because the atoms are tight together unlike in conductable metals which have their atoms freely moving.
Nitrogen is an element. It is not contain atoms of other elements. It has no metallic atoms.

It is covalent because all the atoms in the bond are non-metals.
