Metals and Nonmetals have specific characteristics. Two characteristics of Nonmetals are typically brittle and do not shape easily, and they do not conduct heat or electricity well.

One example of a compound that occurs between two nonmetals is carbon dioxide (CO2). It is formed by the combination of the nonmetals carbon and oxygen.
2 nonmetals would form a covalent bond. Nonmetals are on the right side of the Periodic Table (except for hydrogen).
When two nonmetals react, they typically share electrons to form covalent bonds. This allows them to achieve a more stable electronic configuration. The resulting compound is usually a molecule with lower energy than the individual atoms.

The elements in Figure 6-2 can be identified as metals or nonmetals based on their location within the periodic table. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table, while nonmetals are located on the right. Review the figure and classify each element accordingly.
Nonmetals can be used as insulators in electrical wiring to prevent the flow of electricity. Additionally, nonmetals are used in the production of electronic components such as semiconductors and LEDs.
The highest amount of nonmetals can be found in the p-block of the periodic table, specifically in periods 2 and 3. These periods contain elements like oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, and chlorine, which are all nonmetals.
Nonmetals are not malleable.
