Solid?
Most nonmetals are not liquid at room temperature, as they are gasses. The only nonmetal that is in a liquid state at room temperature is bromine.
Nonmetals typically exist in the solid or gaseous state. At room temperature and pressure, nonmetals such as carbon, sulfur, and bromine can be found as solids, liquids, or gases depending on their specific properties.
Most metals exist as solids at room temperature, while nonmetals can exist in various states, including solids, liquids, and gases. The specific state of a nonmetal at room temperature depends on factors such as its atomic structure and bonding characteristics.
Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. Some nonmetals, like sulfur and carbon, are solids at room temperature.
Some are solid (eg carbon) some are gaseous (eg oxygen) and one is liquid (bromine).
Most metals at room temperature are solids
Unlike metals, most nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
Most non-metallic elements are gases. They include all the noble gases (group 18), fluorine and chlorine in group 17, oxygen, and nitrogen. Under normal, familiar conditions, bromine is a liquid, and sulfur, selenium, phosphorus, and iodine are solids. Anything not mentioned is either a metal or a metalloid.
changes in temperature are usually what causes matter to change its state.
Temperature is the most common reason matter retains it's state.
changes in temperature are usually what causes matter to change its state.
Metals are typically solid at room temperature, with the exception of mercury, which is a liquid. Metalloids can exist in different states, but most are solid at room temperature. Nonmetals can be found in all three states of matter at room temperature: solid (such as carbon and sulfur), liquid (such as bromine), and gas (such as oxygen and nitrogen).
