3 physical properties of non metals: 1- they are mostly in the form of liquids and gases but some also exits as solids. 2-they absorb light and do not have much luster even on polishing. 3- they are bad conductors of heat and light due to the presence of metallic bond between its atoms...... ur retarted

poor thermal conductor
gain electrons easily
hope this helps : )

What element has three energy levels and properties of metals and nonmetals?
The element has 3 energy levels means that it is in the 3rd period. The only metalloid in the 3rd period is Si. It is in the 14th group.
What properties identify nonmetals?
AcidicThe properties that identify the non metals are poor conductors, low densities and high ionization energies.
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 two properties make nonmetals unsuitable for wiring?
The fact that: * they do not conduct electricity * and if you want something else besides that, they melt at low temperatures.
Elements that have same properties of both metals and nonmetals are called semimetals?
If that's a true/false question, then the answer is "false." Otherwise I don't know what you mean.
What are 3 chemical properties of nonmetals?
- electronegativity- corrosivity- flammability
The elements that lack most of the properties of metals are called?
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
Are the physical properties of hydrogen closer to those of nonmetals or metals?
Well, it's a gas, so its properties are closer to nonmetals.
What are the properties of metalloids?
i think they have properties of both metals and nonmetals .
Are physical properties of nonmetals shiny?
Nonmetals are generally not shiny. They tend to be dull.
Are the physical properties of hydrogen closer to nonmetals or metals?
nonmetals because hydrogen is a gas
What is an element whose physical properties are generally opposite to metals?
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
Nonmetals.
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
What is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
