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 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.
Physical characteristics of solid non-metals?
the physical characteristics of a non metal are not ductile meaning it cant be drawn into wires non mallable meaning it cant be rolled into thin sheets also its poor in luster meaning its not shinny also nonmetals are brittle
What is the state of matter of most nonmetals?
Some are solid (eg carbon) some are gaseous (eg oxygen) and one is liquid (bromine).
The strongest attraction between particles exists in which of these states of matter?
This is a solid.
Freezing is the phase change that occurs when a changes into a?
Freezing is the phase change that occurs when a liquidchanges into a solid.
What are characteristics of ice?
ice is solid phase of water
What characteristics do sublimation have?
Sublimation is a change of phase: direct transformation from solid to gas.
Do only solid objects have mass density and volume?
No every phase has those characteristics
What are some Malleable substance?
Malleable substances can be hammered into a thin sheet. This is a characteristic of all metals in the solid phase. In contrast nonmetals are brittle in the solid phase. If you take a piece of sulfur and whack it with a hammer a few times you will turn it into sulfur powder not a thin sheet of sulfur.
What are two characteristics that describe a mineral?
1. solid substane , 2. crystal substance
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.
How many nonmetals are solid?
there are only one solid nonmetal: Bromine
Do nonmetals crack?
Yes, in solid form nonmetals tend to be brittle, however, several nonmetals are gasses and one, bromine, is a liquid.
Are nonmetals solid at room temperature?
Well, non metals are a gas at room temperature and so, they were never really a solid in the first place.
What do phase diagrams describe for a particular substance?
Solid, liquid, gas phases and their transitions vs. temperature & pressure.
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.
Which nonmetals are solid?
Carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and iodine
