It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.
What are the properties that define an element as a non-metal?
- many nonmetals are gaseous or liquids- densities are not high- hardness of solid elements is not high- nonmetals form frequently anions- nonmetals form frequently compounds with covalent bonds
What are atoms that receive electrons and become negatively charged?
Basically the nonmetals. Many of them receive electrons, like oxygen, nitrogen, selenium, tellurium, and many others.

What are charaterisitics of nonmetals?
there are many charaterisitics of nonmetals, a few of them are they do not conduct electricty. and they are not magnetic. mosts of nonmetals do not conduct heat, som are good insilaters. again as i said before, there are many charaterisitics you can look up a bunch more but i named a few.
When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of the nonmetals?
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
