Non-metals typically exhibit the following properties: they are poor conductors of heat and electricity, often have low melting and boiling points, and are generally brittle in solid form. Non-metals can exist in various states at room temperature, including gases (like oxygen and nitrogen) and solids (like sulfur and phosphorus). They tend to gain electrons during chemical reactions, forming anions, and usually have higher electronegativities compared to metals. Additionally, non-metals often have a dull appearance and are not malleable or ductile.
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
Nonmetals. These elements typically have properties such as poor conductivity, low melting points, and brittle structure. They are located on the right side of the periodic table.
The physical properties of hydrogen are closer to those of nonmetals. Hydrogen is a diatomic gas with low melting and boiling points, similar to other nonmetals. It does not exhibit typical metallic properties like high electrical conductivity or metallic luster.
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
Nonmetals are generally not shiny. They tend to be dull.
i think they have properties of both metals and nonmetals .
nonmetals because hydrogen is a gas
Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals but are brittle like nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are silicon and germanium.

No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Yes, silicon is a metalloid and possesses properties of both metals and nonmetals. It can conduct electricity like a metal but also acts as a semiconductor, like a nonmetal, in certain conditions. Silicon's properties are intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals.
