because its physical and chemical properties are not all like the metals so thus its considered as a non-metal. Among such characteristics, carbon is brittle, formed molecular rather than ionic compounds, forms covalent rather than metallic bonds with itself, and in most forms (graphite is an exception) is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
