Nonmetals tend to have lower melting and boiling points than metals. They tend to be dull and brittle. They do not conduct heat or electricity. They are insulators.

Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
Nonmetals.
What are the physical properties of nonmetals?
Poor conductors of heat and electricity.Brittle - if a solid.Nonductile.Do not possess metallic luster.Transparent as a thin sheet.Solids, liquids or gases at room temperature.
What physical and chemical properties are found among the nonmetals?
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
Do non metals have a wide range of chemical properties?
Yes, nonmetals (excepting noble gases) are reactive chemical elements.
Element that has both properties of metals and nonmetals?
The elements that show properties of both metals and nonmetals are referred to as metalloids and include, boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, polonium, tellurium, and antimony.
What is an element whose physical properties are generally opposite to metals?
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
Are physical properties of nonmetals shiny?
Nonmetals are generally not shiny. They tend to be dull.
Are the physical properties of hydrogen closer to those of nonmetals or metals?
Well, it's a gas, so its properties are closer to nonmetals.
Are the physical properties of hydrogen closer to nonmetals or metals?
nonmetals because hydrogen is a gas
What physical and chemical properties are among the nonmetals?
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
What are physical properties used to identify nonmetal?
The properties of nonmetals also tend to vary more from and element to element than do the properties of the metals
What is a property of metals?
Physical properties of metals include: luster, malleability, and ductility. Chemical properties include: forming cations, and reacting with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.
The elements that lack most of the properties of metals are called?
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
What are the properties of metalloids?
i think they have properties of both metals and nonmetals .
Name two physical properties of nonmetals?
Well, nonmetals are opaque and brittle. They are also bad conductors of heat and electricity.
Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
Nonmetals.
