What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
Which characteristics describe most nonmetals in the solid phase?
Solid metals are often shiny, ductile(can be pulled into wires), malleable(can be hammered into thin sheets), and good condutors of heat and electricity. Hope this helped!
What is the state of matter of most nonmetals?
Some are solid (eg carbon) some are gaseous (eg oxygen) and one is liquid (bromine).
Why is the range of densities much greater among the nonmetals than among the metals?
Nonmetals contain about equal numbers of solid and gas or liquid elements. The subatomic particles that make up gases and liquids are more spread out and less compact than in solids. Therefore, gases and liquids are less dense than solids. Because nonmetals contain about equal numbers of solid and gas or liquid elements, they have a greater density range than the predominantly solid metals.
What are characteristics of physical property?
characteristics of physical properties are; mass, volume,color,size,shape,texture. YOUR WELCOMEE
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.
Where are nonmetals found in the periodic table and how do their physical characteristics compare with those of metal?
DICK
