Question

10 uses of non metals
FAST PLEASE EE

Answer 1

Uses of Non-metals:

Chlorine is used in bleacing powder and liquid bleach, which are used for cleaning purposes.Chlorine is also very efficient disinfectant, hence added in public water to kill disease causing pathogens.Noble gases such as neon, argon, krypton are used in different types of lights.Diamond is used in industries for cutting of glass, etc.Coal , another form of carbon, is used as a fuel.Nitrogen is used in manufacturing of ammonia.Oxygen cylinders are used for breathing in emergency cases.In manufacturing of metal alloys, carbon is added in different proportions to get alloys of required strength etc.Chlorine is used in manufacturing of PVC plastic,
Flourine in Teflon, 
Nitrogen in Urea polymers etc .These are some uses of non-metals. In addition to these uses non-metals are essential building blocks of naturally occuring compounds. e.g. nitrogen,carbon and hydrogen in amino acids. These amino acids then form proteins.

Uses of Non-Metals in Daily Life

Many of the non-metals are present in the air we breathe and many of them are present in dry atmospheric air we see around us in volume percentage.

Nitrogen which is present in 78% volume wise is an important element. This is used in industries for the production of ammonia which is an important ingredient of fertilizers we use in agricultural fields.Oxygen is another important element present in atmosphere and is present by volume 21% in the air. This is essential for life since it is required for respiration.Apart from respiration oxygen is also used in industries like manufacturing of steel, metal fabrication work where high temperature is required for the purpose.Oxygen cylinders are used in emergency situation and hospitals where this gas is used for trauma treatment.Noble gases like argon, xenon etc. are used in all kinds of colourful displays where glowing signs are utilised for advertisement purposes.Helium is used widely in all kinds of scientific research where the inert gas is made use of for specific environmentHelium is used by meteorology department for weather balloonsLight bulbs filled with neon, argon, krypton are also made use of for producing laser beamsThe krypton, neon gases are used in filling night club bulbs to provide sparkling coloured bulbs for theatre and night clubsThe chlorine and iodine are two other widely used non-metals and as they are present in group VII. Chlorine is used for purification of our drinking water supplies as it helps in killing the bacteria.Chlorine is also used as a bleaching agent which helps in removing stains or colour from various materials.Chlorine is used for making various useful chemicals like insecticides and graded plastics.Chlorine is also used for making polyvinyl chloride to be used in various pipeline and garden hose.Iodine is used widely as an antiseptic which prevents the growth of microorganism and used mainly to clean cuts and wounds.Iodine is also used for making anti-bacterial gurgles which helps in preventing throat infection.

Non-metals are used in applications where the mechanical, thermal, electrical or physical properties are not in demand. Some uses of non-metals include the following:

Insulation- electrical and thermal

coatings- for corrosion control, paints and lacquers

decorations- aesthetics


Oxygen, carbon, Sulphur and chlorine are examples of non-metal elements. All non-metals have these properties in common: they are dull (not shiny) they are poor conductors of heat and electricity (they are insulators)


There are two fields of chemistry. Inorganic and Organic. Organic is the chemistry of Carbon. Inorganic is the chemistry of metals and materials without Carbon.

So, to make it simple, let’s just say the chemistry of non-metals is Organic chemistry. That means vertually 95% of everything you see in your life are non-metals. (although some of the materials may have a little metal in them).

Answer 2

* hydrogen is used in preparation of water
* oxygen is used in preparation of water
* oxygen is highly essential for our life
