Well, non metals are a gas at room temperature and so, they were never really a solid in the first place.
Some nonmetals are solid; an example is iodine.
Everything has a 'State of Matter' be it Solid, Liquid or Gas. Non-metals are either gases or solids, with the exception of Bromine , which os a liquid.
Some non-metals like carbon, sulphur, phosphorus,selenium iodine are solids at room temperature. carbon is also a solid at room temperature and even though Non-metals are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well. As opposed to metals carbon in the form of powdered graphite allowed its use as a semiconductor
Sucrose can be both solid or liquid. At room temperature, however, it's a solid.
The atoms of non-metals are covalently bonded in a molecule. These molecules are joint by weak intermolecular forces of attraction which are easily overcame. Hence the boiling point is low and usually below room temperature so at room temperature, they are gaseous.
Nonmetals
Solid?
Nonmetals can be solid, liquid and gas at room temperature.
At room temperature, polonium is a solid. However, at elevated temperatures, it may be turned into a liquid or even a gas (at very high temperatures). Polonium is a metalloid, having properties between metals and nonmetals.
Yes.
Gases at room temperature
Most nonmetals are not liquid at room temperature, as they are gasses. The only nonmetal that is in a liquid state at room temperature is bromine.
The element, Selenium, is a solid at room temperature.
Nonmetals are gases but also solids.
Everything has a 'State of Matter' be it Solid, Liquid or Gas. Non-metals are either gases or solids, with the exception of Bromine , which os a liquid.
No. In fact the only non-metal that is a liquid at room temperature is Bromine, and even that can be considered a gas at times. The only other liquid in the periodic table is Mercury, which is a metal.
At room temperature and standard pressure the element Boron is a solid.
