No, nonmetals are not invisible. Nonmetals such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon are visible in their gaseous form as they make up the air we breathe. Other nonmetals like sulfur and iodine can be seen in their solid or liquid forms.

Yes, in solid form nonmetals tend to be brittle, however, several nonmetals are gasses and one, bromine, is a liquid.
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
When nonmetals react with nonmetals, their atoms typically share electrons to form covalent bonds. This sharing allows each atom to achieve a more stable electron configuration, often resembling that of noble gases. As a result, molecules are formed, which can have various physical and chemical properties depending on the specific nonmetals involved.

No, all elements in the periodic table are made up of atoms that can be seen or detected using scientific instruments. Some nonmetals may have properties that make them difficult to see with the naked eye, but they are not invisible.

Nonmetals are not malleable.
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
there are 18 there are 18 nonmetals
No. Nonmetals are dull, not lustrous.
