A non-metal is an element on the Periodic Table that does not have the properties of a metallic element, such as malleability. Nonmetals are usually found in nature as gases or weak, brittle solids. All group 17 and 18 elements are nonmetals, as well as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, and selenium.
