Yes, in solid form nonmetals tend to be brittle, however, several nonmetals are gasses and one, bromine, is a liquid.
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
When nonmetals react with nonmetals, their atoms typically share electrons to form covalent bonds. This sharing allows each atom to achieve a more stable electron configuration, often resembling that of noble gases. As a result, molecules are formed, which can have various physical and chemical properties depending on the specific nonmetals involved.
Not all nonmetals have an odor. Some nonmetals, like nitrogen and oxygen, are odorless gases at room temperature. However, certain nonmetals, such as sulfur and phosphorus, can have distinct odors. The presence or absence of an odor in nonmetals depends on their specific chemical properties and the forms they take.

Nonmetals can be used as insulators in electrical wiring to prevent the flow of electricity. Additionally, nonmetals are used in the production of electronic components such as semiconductors and LEDs.
Nonmetals are not malleable.
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
there are 18 there are 18 nonmetals
No. Nonmetals are dull, not lustrous.
Ionic.
Nonmetals have negative charges.
