Why The non-metals do not show displacement reaction?

Non-metals do not show displacement reactions because they are less reactive than metals. Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Since non-metals are not as reactive as metals, they are not typically displaced in reactions.
