In general they are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They tend to be Brittle - if a solid. They are usually Non-ductile unlike metals which are. They tend not to be lustrous May be Solids, liquids or gases at room temperature.
What else can I help you with?
Elements are classified as metals nonmetals and metalloids according to their?
Physical property
Readily forming diatomic molecules is a property of?
III only. Nonmetals.
Is the ability to conduct electricity is a property of nonmetals?
no
Are physical properties of nonmetals shiny?
Nonmetals are generally not shiny. They tend to be dull.
Name two physical properties of nonmetals?
Well, nonmetals are opaque and brittle. They are also bad conductors of heat and electricity.
What property of nonmetals is the opposite of being malleable and ductile?
Harb
Which property is characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals?
Brittleness is a property that is characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals. Metals are typically malleable and ductile, able to be bent and stretched without breaking, whereas nonmetals are often brittle and prone to shattering when subjected to force.
Why is charcoal brittle?
Many nonmetals are brittle and Carbon is a non metal. Charcoal is a carbon compound so charcoal is brittle having the physical property of carbon.
Are the physical properties of hydrogen closer to nonmetals or metals?
nonmetals because hydrogen is a gas
What property of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile?
Brittle
What is an element whose physical properties are generally opposite to metals?
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
What is a chemical or physical property of non metals?
Nonmetals have high ionization energies and electronegativities. They are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. Solid nonmetals are generally brittle, with little or no metallic luster. Most nonmetals have the ability to gain electrons easily. Nonmetals display a wide range of chemical properties and reactivities.High ionization energyPoor thermal conductorThey are negatively chargedPoor electrical conductor
