The term "nonmetals" refers to a diverse group of elements characterized by their lack of metallic properties. Nonmetals typically have high electronegativities and ionization energies, and they can form negative ions or covalent bonds. They are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity and can exist in various physical states (solid, liquid, gas) at room temperature. Common examples include oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen.

What is the activity of non metals?
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.
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Is a semi metal hard?
Their hardness will be less than that of metals but more than that of non metals. Hence the name, semi metals or metalloids.
Which type of substance is soft has a low melting point and is poor pondutor of electricity?
A substance that fits this description is a non-metal. Non-metals tend to be soft, have low melting points, and are poor conductors of electricity due to their lack of free-moving electrons. Examples of non-metals include sulfur, phosphorus, and carbon in its graphite form.
Can you name the ten non metals that are solid at room temperature?
bromine
What is the activity of non metals?

What is the name of the element which can neither fit metals and non metals?
boron(metalloid)
Name the different types of non metals?
plastic
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals
Do non-metals have low boiling point?
Non-metals generally have low boiling points compared to metals. This is because non-metals have weaker intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, that require less energy to overcome in order for the substance to change from a liquid to a gas.
What is a substance that can be used to make metal called?
An alloy is a substance made by combining two or more metals, or a metal with a non-metal element, to create a material with improved properties compared to the individual metals.
What is an element what are the different types of element?
An element is a substance made entirely from one type of atom. An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. ... The different types of elements are: Metals. Non - Metals. Metalloids.
What is a force that holds together the atoms substance?
Metal atoms are held together by strong Electrostatic forces that make metals typically strong and solid. Non metals are held together by ether Covalent bonds between two non metals, Ionic bonds between a metal and a non metal.
What is a force holds together the atoms in a substance?
Metal atoms are held together by strong Electrostatic forces that make metals typically strong and solid. Non metals are held together by ether Covalent bonds between two non metals, Ionic bonds between a metal and a non metal.
How do you find out if a substance is an alloy?
To find out whether a substance is an alloy you look at the elements it is made of. If it made up of only metals (ie gold,silver,aluminum,copper) then you know it is an alloy. If the components are a metal and non-metal, it is an ionic compound. If the components are two non-metals it is a molecular compound.
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
