What are the characteristics of non metal?

Answer 1

Well, non metal are brittle - not malleable/bendy unlike metals - though many are gasses, usually poor conductors of electricity and heat, usually melt at low temperatures and they are simply not shiny.

Answer 2

Non-metals typically have properties that include being poor conductors of heat and electricity, brittle in solid form, and having low melting and boiling points. They can exist in various states of matter (solids, liquids, or gases) and tend to form acidic or neutral oxides. Non-metals also generally have high electronegativity and gain electrons in chemical reactions.

Answer 3

non metals have no lustre non metals are brittle they are not msllesble or ductile non metals are either a solid or gas at room temperature, except for bromine which is a liquid

Answer 4

crumbly,dull,usually gasses,nonconductors,not malleable.chalk is a compundone,but it has simmaler properties to solid nonmetals
