All materials have advantages or disadvantages - this depends on their use and cannot be enumerated in general.
Nonmetals on the periodic table.
Covalent bonds are more likely to be found in compounds containing only nonmetals. Metals typically form ionic bonds with nonmetals due to the large difference in electronegativity, while nonmetals tend to share electrons in covalent bonds to achieve stability.
One example of a compound that occurs between two nonmetals is carbon dioxide (CO2). It is formed by the combination of the nonmetals carbon and oxygen.
Not all nonmetals have an odor. Some nonmetals are odorless, such as oxygen and nitrogen, while others, like sulfur and chlorine, have distinct odors. Odor presence in nonmetals varies based on their chemical properties.
Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals but are brittle like nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are silicon and germanium.

Nonmetals are not malleable.
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
there are 18 there are 18 nonmetals
No. Nonmetals are dull, not lustrous.
Ionic.
Nonmetals have negative charges.
Yes, in solid form nonmetals tend to be brittle, however, several nonmetals are gasses and one, bromine, is a liquid.
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
Nonmetals are on the right side.
Nonmetals are gases but also solids.
The products of these reactions have covalent bonds.
