Yes. Most of the nonmetals are gasses, so seeing as they have already melted and boiled at room temperature, while the metals have not yet melted, metals have a far higher melting point.
Nonmetals typically have lower boiling points compared to metals because nonmetals have weaker intermolecular forces between their atoms. These weaker forces make it easier for nonmetals to break apart and transition from a solid or liquid state to a gaseous state at lower temperatures.
Metalloids typically have higher melting points than non-metal elements but lower melting points than most metals. This is because metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals, giving them melting points that fall between the two categories.
No, the trends for melting points and boiling points in nonmetals are generally different from those in metals. Nonmetals typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to metals, which tend to have high melting and boiling points due to strong metallic bonds. In nonmetals, the melting and boiling points can vary significantly based on molecular structure and intermolecular forces, with noble gases having very low points and some covalent network solids like diamond having high points. Therefore, while both groups exhibit trends, the underlying reasons and values differ significantly.
Diamond is a unique nonmetal because its structure consists of a three-dimensional network of carbon atoms covalently bonded, making it extremely hard and having a high melting point. Additionally, diamond has a high refractive index and exceptional thermal conductivity, distinguishing it from other nonmetals.
Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of electricity, while nonmetals are usually dull, brittle, and poor conductors of electricity. Other criteria used to differentiate them include their position on the periodic table, their physical properties such as density and melting point, and their chemical reactivity.
Tungsten has the highest melting point of the elements and it is a metal.
Non metals are brittle.They are non lustrous. They have low melting point.

They are poor conductors
Alkaline earth metals do not exist , only alkali earth metals

Spelter, sometimes known as zinc, is used to fuse metals with a higher melting point. The actual melting point of spelter is 787.15 degrees Fahrenheit.
No. Metals do not burn, only melt.
Yes non metals do have high melting and boiling points. This is because they have strong intemolecular forces that are hard to overcome.A2. Their melting points vary. Obviously gases such as nitrogen and oxygen have low melting points, but Silicon (1414oC) and Diamond ( around 1700oC) are rather high. Phosphorous and Sulfur on the other hand are rather low.

The melting points for non-metals range from the lowest for all elements to the highest. The melting point for Helium is effectively 0 K (-273.15 deg C) whereas that for Carbon is 3823 K (3550 deg C).
Low Melting Point. Most metals have high melting point and are solids at room temperature.
