metal- shiny non-metal- dull
They are either Solid, Liquid or Gas. They are dull (not lustrous), poor conductors, non malleable, and not ductile
Nonmetals are very dull looking and are easily broken compared to a normal piece of metal. Nonmetals have high ionization energies and electro negativities. 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.
Dullness is a physical property.
go to Ask Jeeves dat doesn't help i need it for gcse
Insulators are conductors
cake and ice cream
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
Non-metals are dull, brittle elements that do not conduct electricity.
There are 17 nonmetals in the periodic table, and they are characterized by four major physical properties. 1. They rarely have metallic luster. 2. They are usually gases at room temperature. 3. Nonmetallic solids are neither malleable nor ductile. 4. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
anything that is not of metal or liquified
a nonmetal because a metal is shiny and strong so a nonmetal is brittle and dull
Non-metals generally are not good conductors of heat or electricity, have a dull surface, are brittle to the touch, and are not easily molded into shapes.
- many nonmetals are gaseous or liquids- densities are not high- hardness of solid elements is not high- nonmetals form frequently anions- nonmetals form frequently compounds with covalent bonds
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
metal- shiny non-metal- dull
Non-metals are dull (or they are not shiny as metals).
