Carbon is a nonmetal. Although it is located near the metalloids, it is not sitting on the "staircase" of the periodic table. As a result, it displays properties of a nonmetal like low conductivity of energy.

∙ 13y agoNo, carbonate is an ion made of the nonmetals carbon and oxygen. Its formula is CO32-. Because it is negatively charged it needs to be accompanied by some sort of positive ion (which is usually a metal ion) to balance the charge. Common metal carbonates include sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and copper carbonate (CuCO3).
Although sodium, calcium, and copper are all metals on their own, their carbonates and other compounds are not metals but salts.

Is carbon-dioxide a non-metal?
Carbon Dioxide is a compound formed by a Carbon and Oxygen. Only an element can be classified as a metal, non-metal or a metalloid. Compounds cannot be classified in these categories. Carbon and oxygen both are non-metals.
What does carbon dioxide and copper make?
copper is a metal and carbon dioxide is a gas so therefore dont mix
Is carbon dioxide nonmetal?
Yes Carbon-Dioxide is a metal
Is Carbon gas?
yes since i non- metal and their is no way it can be liquid. ++++ Eh? Carbon is an element that exists as a solid in various forms, from amorphous powder (e.g. soot) via graphite to its crystalline form, diamond.
Is carbon metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Non-Metal
Is carbon a liquid or a metal?
Carbon is neither. It's a GAS.
Is CO2 a metal?
Carbon dioxide is a gas.
When a metal tarnishes it reacts with a gas in the air what is the name of this gas?
Carbon dioxide
When heated a metal carbonate decomposes in to a metal oxide and a?
the metal carbonate decomposes into a metal oxide and carbon dioxide
What gas does hydrochloric acid and metal carbonate make?
carbon dioxide
What is the gas produce when you add acid to metal carbonate?
Carbon dioxide.
What is a type of element or substance that is not a metal?
An element that is not a metal is a non-metal (e.g. carbon) or inert gas (e.g. Argon).
Is carbon-dioxide a non-metal?

What type of gas is made when a metal carbonate reacts with an acid?
Carbon Dioxide
Do metal react with acid to yield carbon dioxide gas?
no metal can not react with acid to give Carbondioxide gas but a hydrogen gas HCl + Na-------->NaCl(s) + H(g)
