What property of nonmetals is the opposite of being malleable and ductile?
Harb
Is polythene ductile?
No. Ductile is that property of being shaped, rubber tends to be the exact opposite.
Is ductile and physical or chemical property?
ductile is a physical property
Which is more important metals nonmetals or metalloids?
It depends on what you are using them for. Metals are very ductile, and conduct electricity, nonmetals do a whole lot of things, metalloids can do a mixture
Why aren't non metals strong?
We cannot determine if nonmetals are strong or not since they exist in any of the 3 states:solid,liquid,or gases. But generally,nonmetals are characterized that they are non-ductile. There are some nonmetals that are strong such as:wood and glass,and in the same time there are some nonmetals that are not as strong such as :coal which we can dismantle easily.

Physical characteristics of solid non-metals?
the physical characteristics of a non metal are not ductile meaning it cant be drawn into wires non mallable meaning it cant be rolled into thin sheets also its poor in luster meaning its not shinny also nonmetals are brittle
Why is metal a element?
Nonmetals have properties opposite those of themetals. The nonmetals are brittle, not malleable or ductile, poor conductors of both heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Some nonmetals are liquids. These elements are shown in the following figure.
Minerals that are generally dull not malleable and not ductile and cannot conduct electricity are?
nonmetals
What are the properties of a metal?
Most metals are solids at room temps. They have a luster (shine) and are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are mallable and ductile.
