Nonmetals typically exist in the solid or gaseous state. At room temperature and pressure, nonmetals such as carbon, sulfur, and bromine can be found as solids, liquids, or gases depending on their specific properties.
Most metals exist as solids at room temperature, while nonmetals can exist in various states, including solids, liquids, and gases. The specific state of a nonmetal at room temperature depends on factors such as its atomic structure and bonding characteristics.
Everything that you touch is MATTER. You are matter. So solids, liquids and gases are matter. It follows that non-metals are matter. NB THere are only two liquid elements in the periodic table, they are bromine and mercury.
Curium is a synthetic radioactive element and could exist in various states of matter depending on its specific form. However, under standard conditions, curium is most likely to exist in a solid state.
Most non-metallic elements are gases. They include all the noble gases (group 18), fluorine and chlorine in group 17, oxygen, and nitrogen. Under normal, familiar conditions, bromine is a liquid, and sulfur, selenium, phosphorus, and iodine are solids. Anything not mentioned is either a metal or a metalloid.
At room temperature fermium is supposed to be a solid metal.

Most elements exist in the state of matter known as solids at room temperature and pressure. Some elements can also exist as liquids or gases depending on the conditions.
Some are solid (eg carbon) some are gaseous (eg oxygen) and one is liquid (bromine).
Metals are typically solid at room temperature, with the exception of mercury, which is a liquid. Metalloids can exist in different states, but most are solid at room temperature. Nonmetals can be found in all three states of matter at room temperature: solid (such as carbon and sulfur), liquid (such as bromine), and gas (such as oxygen and nitrogen).
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.

Curium is a synthetic radioactive element and could exist in various states of matter depending on its specific form. However, under standard conditions, curium is most likely to exist in a solid state.
At room temperature, the state of matter for elements varies. Most metals, such as iron and copper, are solids, while mercury is a notable exception as it is a liquid. Nonmetals can be gases, like oxygen and nitrogen, or solids, like sulfur and phosphorus. Thus, elements can exist in all three states—solid, liquid, and gas—at room temperature depending on their specific properties.
Most non-metallic elements are gases. They include all the noble gases (group 18), fluorine and chlorine in group 17, oxygen, and nitrogen. Under normal, familiar conditions, bromine is a liquid, and sulfur, selenium, phosphorus, and iodine are solids. Anything not mentioned is either a metal or a metalloid.
Matter tends to exist in its energy ground state. Both the nucleus and the electron cloud have energy states, representing different levels of excitation. The tendency is to return to ground or lowest state, and when that happens, a photon is emitted with charge representing the energy transition. When the photon comes from the nucleus, it is a gamma ray; when the photon comes from the electron cloud, it is an x-ray.
The most common state of matter for water is liquid.
