Chemical properties of non metals?
Answers
Answer:
they have very low tensile strength
- Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Graphite and Gas carbon are exceptions.
- Unlike metals, nonmetals aren’t malleable and ductile.
- Nonmetals react more with metals than with nonmetals.
- Usually, nonmetals react with other nonmetals in high temperature.
- Most nonmetals do not react with air in room temperature.
- White phosphorus is the only nonmetal that reacts with air to form its oxide by burning.
- Usually, nonmetals do not react with water. Except for Chlorine, chlorine dissolves in water to form an acidic solution.
- Nonmetals have a low density.
- They do not form alloys. However, nonmetals like carbon, silicon and phosphorous.
- Nonmetals exist in all states of matter at room temperature.
- Different nonmetals have different reactions.
- Chlorine is the most reactive metal in the halogen family i.e. Chlorine (Cl), - - Bromine (Br), Iodine (I), and Fluorine (F). The reactivity order of the halogen family is Cl > Br > I.
- Therefore, Chlorine (Cl) can displace Bromine (Br) and Iodine (I) from solutions of bromides (NaBr) and Iodides (NaI).
- Ionic solids are formed when nonmetals with high electronegativity react with alkali and alkaline earth metals.
