Some are solids like carbon, phosphorus, sulphur etc

Some are gases like helium, neon, argon etc.

Bromine is the only liquid non metal

What are most nonmetals at room temperature?

Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. Some nonmetals, like sulfur and carbon, are solids at room temperature.


At room temperature all the metalloids are solids while most nonmetals are?

liquids or gases. This is because metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, allowing them to exist as solids at room temperature. Meanwhile, many nonmetals have lower melting points and boiling points, resulting in their existence as gases or liquids at room temperature.


Are all nonmetals liquid at room temperature?

No. In fact the only non-metal that is a liquid at room temperature is Bromine, and even that can be considered a gas at times. The only other liquid in the periodic table is Mercury, which is a metal.


What are the things to classify elements?

Many classifications exists: metal or nonmetals, solids or gaseous, reactive or not reactive, valency number, radioacive or not, common or rare, etc.


What is unique about nonmetals?

Nonmetals are unique due to their distinct physical and chemical properties, which contrast sharply with those of metals. They generally have higher electronegativities and ionization energies, making them more likely to gain electrons during chemical reactions. Nonmetals can exist in various states at room temperature—such as gases (like oxygen and nitrogen), liquids (like bromine), and solids (like carbon and sulfur)—and they tend to be poor conductors of heat and electricity. Additionally, nonmetals often form covalent bonds with other nonmetals, resulting in a wide variety of molecular compounds.

What State of matter most nonmetals exist in?

Nonmetals typically exist in the solid or gaseous state. At room temperature and pressure, nonmetals such as carbon, sulfur, and bromine can be found as solids, liquids, or gases depending on their specific properties.


Are metals or nonmetals gray solids at room temperature?

Metals are typically solid at room temperature, but nonmetals can exist in various states such as solids, liquids, or gases. Gray color is not specific to either metals or nonmetals at room temperature.


Are all nonmetals liquids or matter?

Everything that you touch is MATTER. You are matter. So solids, liquids and gases are matter. It follows that non-metals are matter. NB THere are only two liquid elements in the periodic table, they are bromine and mercury.


In what state do most metals and nonmetals exist at room temperature?

Most metals exist as solids at room temperature, while nonmetals can exist in various states, including solids, liquids, and gases. The specific state of a nonmetal at room temperature depends on factors such as its atomic structure and bonding characteristics.


Which are the two non metals that are soft solids?

Sulfur and phosphorus are both capable of existence in soft solid forms. I am not sure that these are the only two nonmetals with this property.

What are most elements classified as?

Most elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are generally poor conductors and can be gases or brittle solids. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
