Okay: so there's this "zigzag line" on the Periodic Table and all elements to the right of that line are nonmetals. A few touching the line are considered metalloids but look the right of that things and there are your nonmetals for you.
They are:
Hydrogen
Helium
Carbon
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Fluorine
Neon
Phosphorus
Sulfur
Chlorine
Argon
Selenium
Bromine
Krypton
Iodine
Xenon
Astatine
Radon
What else can I help you with?
When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of nonmetals do what with electrons?
Share
Do nonmetals crack?
Yes, in solid form nonmetals tend to be brittle, however, several nonmetals are gasses and one, bromine, is a liquid.
Do the elements go from metals to nonmetals or nonmetals to metals?
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
When nonmetals eact with nonmetals the atoms of the nonmetals do what?
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.
Does all nonmetals have an oder?
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.

Are all nonmetals not malleable?
Nonmetals are not malleable.
When nonmetals react with other nonmetal the atoms of the nonmetals?
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
How many nonmetals are there?
there are 18 there are 18 nonmetals
Do nonmetals look shiny?
No. Nonmetals are dull, not lustrous.
What are formed when nonmetals combine with other nonmetals?
Ionic.
Are nonmetals positive or negative?
Nonmetals have negative charges.

Will copper combine with some nonmetals?
Yes, copper does form compounds with nonmetals.
