If it is 'never found in nature' that means it's a large and radioactive atom so it will be in the lower parts of the periodic table. Non metals are to be found in the upper right hand side of the Periodic Table and become metallic roughly across a diagonal between boron and polonium. So the one you want can only be polonium, astatine or radon. Well polonium is really a metalloid rather than a true non-metal and it does occur in various radioactive rocks. When we check out radium we find that it's a nasty carcinogenic gas that occurs in nature when radium or uranium atoms decay; it's natural so we must be looking at astatine. Sure enough,Wikipedia tells us; '...a mass (of astatine) large enough to be seen (by the naked human eye) would be immediately vaporized by the heat generated by its own radioactivity'.
Astatine it is!
That do ya?

Why is iodine nonmetal?
Iodine is a nonmetal because it lacks metallic properties such as conductivity and malleability. It exists as a diatomic molecule in its natural state and tends to gain electrons when forming chemical bonds, similar to other nonmetals.
Is copper found in its natural state?
Yes, copper is found in its natural state as a metal mineral in the Earth's crust. It is often found in combination with other elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and other metals, and must be extracted through mining and refining processes.
An element that is yellow in its natural state?
Sulfur is an element that is yellow in its natural state. It is commonly found in its pure form or in sulfide minerals, presenting a bright yellow color.
Is chlorine a non - metallic compound?
Chlorine is a nonmetal but its is an element, not a compound.
Is carbon a solid liquid or gas in its natural state?
Carbon is a solid in its natural state, with various forms such as graphite and diamond being commonly found in nature.
A widely distributed nonmetal which is never found in its free elemental state?
There are many nonmetals that are rarely found in their elemental form naturally. One of the more widespread of these is chlorine. Because chlorine is so reactive, it is almost always present as compounds, such as sodium chloride.
What element is a widely distributed nonmetal never found in its free elemental state and is an essential component in all cell protoplasm DNA and various animal tissues and bones?
carbon
Is carbon a metal or nonmetal or metalloid?
Carbon is considered a nonmetal. It has an atomic symbol of C and atomic number of 6. It is a solid in its standard state.
Why is iodine nonmetal?
Iodine is a nonmetal because it lacks metallic properties such as conductivity and malleability. It exists as a diatomic molecule in its natural state and tends to gain electrons when forming chemical bonds, similar to other nonmetals.
