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?

What is an element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
What are two physical characteristics of all the metals?
Solid and Malleable
Are all solid elements metals?
No, not all solid elements are metals. There are three main types of elements: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. While metals make up the majority of the periodic table, there are also nonmetals and metalloids which have different properties and characteristics.
What are the physical properties to the exceptions of the physical properties of metals and nonmetals?
Metals * Good electrical conductors and heat conductors. * Malleable - can be beaten into thin sheets. * Ductile - can be stretched into wire. * Possess metallic luster. * Opaque as thin sheet. * Solid at room temperature (except Hg). Nonmetals * Poor conductors of heat and electricity. * Brittle - if a solid. * Nonductile. * Do not possess metallic luster. * Transparent as a thin sheet. * Solids, liquids or gases at room temperature
Which nonmetals are solid?
At room temperature and pressure, carbon (in the form of graphite and diamond) and sulfur are solid nonmetals. However, these elements can exhibit different physical states under varying conditions of temperature and pressure.
What are some physical characteristics about gold?
solid, shiny, good conductor of electricity
What is the characteristics of water changed into ice?
There is a physical change where it turns from a liquid into a solid.
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a what?
AnswerThey are known as metalloids or semimetals. Some metalloids are: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium, and astatine. (Eh-hem, sorry to edit but I asked this question! -.-)
How many nonmetals are solid?
there are only one solid nonmetal: Bromine
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.
