Nonmetals typically exhibit poor conductivity of heat and electricity, contrasting sharply with metals. They are generally brittle in solid form, lacking the malleability and ductility of metals. Nonmetals have higher ionization energies and electronegativities, allowing them to form covalent bonds and gain electrons more easily. Additionally, many nonmetals exist in gaseous or solid states at room temperature, with distinct properties such as varying colors and odors.
