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.
Do protons or electrons best identify the properties of an element?

What are mettaloids?
Metalloids are the border lines between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table.
What are physical properties used to identify nonmetal?
The properties of nonmetals also tend to vary more from and element to element than do the properties of the metals
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
Are physical properties of nonmetals shiny?
Nonmetals are generally not shiny. They tend to be dull.
What are the properties of metalloids?
i think they have properties of both metals and nonmetals .
What are the physical properties used to identify nonmetals?
Carbon, hydrogen, fluorine and phosphorus are straightforward for nuclear magnetic resonance. As for the same, amine groups (i.e. nitrogen) etc may be spotted with IR spectroscopy. Further to this, you can run elemental analysis for C, H and N. There are many wet chemistry techniques to determine quantities of a known substance also.
Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
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.
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.
The elements that lack most of the properties of metals are called?
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
Are the physical properties of hydrogen closer to those of nonmetals or metals?
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.
Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
