Ten nonmetals and their uses include:
- Oxygen (O) - Essential for respiration in living organisms and used in medical applications.
- Nitrogen (N) - Used as an inert atmosphere in chemical processes and in fertilizers.
- Carbon (C) - Found in all organic life; used in steel production and as graphite in pencils.
- Sulfur (S) - Used in the production of sulfuric acid, fertilizers, and as a fungicide.
- Phosphorus (P) - Key component in fertilizers and DNA; used in safety matches.
- Chlorine (Cl) - Used in water purification and in the production of plastics like PVC.
- Fluorine (F) - Used in toothpaste and Teflon coatings for non-stick cookware.
- Argon (Ar) - Used in lighting and as an inert gas in welding.
- Iodine (I) - Used in medical antiseptics and as a nutrient in thyroid function.
- Bromine (Br) - Used in flame retardants and certain pharmaceuticals.

What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Uses of metals and non-metals?
Metals are used in construction, electrical wiring, machinery, and transportation due to their strength and conductivity. Non-metals are used in industries such as electronics, healthcare, and agriculture for purposes like insulation, semiconductors, and fertilizers. Both types of elements play crucial roles in various applications based on their unique properties.
Where are the metals and non metals on the periodic table?
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
What are the Uses of metals and non metals?
Metals are used in construction, electrical wiring, transportation, and manufacturing due to their strength, malleability, and conductivity. Non-metals are used in elements such as oxygen for respiration, carbon in organic compounds, and nitrogen in fertilizers.

Which are better metals or non metals?
My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
Characteristics of non metal?
1.Non-metals are mostly liquids or gases but some are found in solid state.2.Non-metals are usually non-flexible.3.It is difficult to to mold non-meats and convert them into wires and sheets.4.In non-metals atoms are bonded by covalent bonds.5.Non-metals are usually non-conductors but few of them conduct electricity.6.Non-metals are easy to cut or break.7.Non-metals do not transfer heat.8.Non-metals do not have much brightness even on polishing.9.Non-metals do not absorb light.10.Non metals are usually light in weight and have low density.11.Non-metals usually have low melting and boiling points.12.Non-metals ion bear negative charge but some bear positive charge as well e.g.Hydrogen.13.Oxides of Non-metals are acidic.14.Non-metals have tendency to accept electrons.15.Non-metals do not react with water at room temperature.16.Non-metals rarely react with acids
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Where are the most reactive non metals?
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
