- lower density
- lower hardness
- lower melting point
- lower boiling point
- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquids
etc.
Nonmetals tend to be brittle, poor conductors of heat, and poor conductors of electricity.
they are malleable
poor conductors.
The property characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals is odor.
No, carbon is not malleable. It is considered a nonmetal and one characteristic of nonmetals is brittleness, quite the opposite of malleability.
Metals usually have characteristic(s) of at least one of the following: luster, shine, malleable, ductile, and conducts electricity. Non metals don't conduct electricity and are usually brittle.
False.
What is "the following"?
The property characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals is odor.
No, carbon is not malleable. It is considered a nonmetal and one characteristic of nonmetals is brittleness, quite the opposite of malleability.
Nitrogen and oxygen are gases, nonmetals.
Hardness is a characteristic that applies to a range of materials-metals and nonmetals alike- and is defined as the resistance of the material to deformation.
Metals usually have characteristic(s) of at least one of the following: luster, shine, malleable, ductile, and conducts electricity. Non metals don't conduct electricity and are usually brittle.
False.
What is "the following"?
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.

Some examples of nonmetals include oxygen, nytrogen, hydrogen, helium, and neon are a few gases and a few more solid nonmetals include the following; carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur.
