Properties of non metels

Answer 1

Non-metals are:
-poor conductors of heat and electricity
-in solid state they are brittle, dull, and not malleable
-high electronegativity meaning they attract electrons easily and forms covalent bond easier
-they usually have lower melting points than metal

Answer 2

Nonmetals are typically brittle in solid form, have lower melting and boiling points compared to metals, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They tend to gain electrons when forming chemical bonds, creating negative ions. Nonmetals can be found in various states at room temperature, such as gases (like oxygen), liquids (like bromine), and solids (like sulfur).
