Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
The elements on the periodic table are ordered from left to right as metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. The left side consists mostly of metals, which are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. In the middle, we have metalloids, which possess properties of both metals and nonmetals. The right side contains nonmetals, which are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity and have varying physical properties.

Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids which are elements that have some of the same properties as metals but not all properties to make them a metal
Yes, nonmetals (excepting noble gases) are reactive chemical elements.
As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
Elements are classified into classes based on their properties and characteristics. The main classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are typically dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Non-metals are dull, brittle elements that do not conduct electricity.
