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.
all are non metals
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.
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Non-metals, metals and semiconductors. Metals are on the left, non-metals on the right, and semiconductors sitting near the staircase line that divides the metals and non-metals.

My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
They are in between the metals and non metals
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
Non-metals, they are all gases.
In general, non metals are more electronegative
Non-metals
One characteristic of non-metals is that they are generally gaseous at room temperature. Non-metals will also typically bond with metals easily.
