The nonmetals fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At) are located in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and are commonly referred to as the halogens. These elements, particularly fluorine and chlorine, can be quite reactive and toxic in their elemental forms. So, the poisonous nonmetals are commonly associated with the halogens in the periodic table.

What family of elemts is all poisenous nonmetals?

None. Your question doesn't make sense because there is no family of elements that are all poisonous nonmetals. Elemental halogens are poisonous but at least two of them (chlorine and iodine) are needed by your body but not in their elemental form. They must be part of an ionic compound. Oxygen, sulphur and selenium are also needed by your body but other than oxygen, the others must also be part of a compound and not elemental. Nitrogen and phosphorous are the same - though elemental nitrogen is not poisonous. And carbon and then boron are also only useful to your body in compounds and not in elemental form though again, neither of them are poisonous. The other nonmetals are hydrogen and then the inert or "noble" gases, none of which are poisonous except for radioactive isotopes of radon. And it is the radioactivity and not the radon itself that is poisonous.
