Most non-metals are not highly reactive or an completely inert. However, the Halogens in Group 17 are reactive with nearly every substance on the planet.

Do non metals corrodes easily?

Non-metals generally do not corrode in the same way that metals do, as corrosion typically refers to the degradation of metals due to chemical reactions, often with oxygen and moisture. However, some non-metals, like certain plastics or organic materials, can degrade or break down due to environmental factors such as UV light, chemicals, or biological activity. The susceptibility to degradation varies widely among non-metals, depending on their chemical structure and the conditions they are exposed to.
