Acidic
The properties that identify the non metals are poor conductors, low densities and high ionization energies.
- 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
The fact that: * they do not conduct electricity * and if you want something else besides that, they melt at low temperatures.

If that's a true/false question, then the answer is "false." Otherwise I don't know what you mean.
there are 18 there are 18 nonmetals
The properties of nonmetals also tend to vary more from and element to element than do the properties of the metals
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
i think they have properties of both metals and nonmetals .
Nonmetals are generally not shiny. They tend to be dull.
Some physical properties used to identify nonmetals include low melting and boiling points, dull appearance, poor thermal and electrical conductivity, and brittle or powdery texture. Nonmetals tend to be located on the right side of the periodic table.
nonmetals because hydrogen is a gas
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals but are brittle like nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are silicon and germanium.
Nonmetals. These elements typically have properties such as poor conductivity, low melting points, and brittle structure. They are located on the right side of the periodic table.
The physical properties of hydrogen are closer to those of nonmetals. Hydrogen is a diatomic gas with low melting and boiling points, similar to other nonmetals. It does not exhibit typical metallic properties like high electrical conductivity or metallic luster.
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
