Question

Choose the correct answer:
1) All of the following are properties of non-metals except:
a) they have low melting point
b) they have low density
c) they are brittle
d) they are non conducters of heat

Answer 1

Answer:

a) They have low melting point

Answer 2

All of the following are properties of non-metals except they have low melting point.

• In chemistry, a non-metal is an element that generally shows the absence of metallic properties.
• At normal room temperature, non-metals could be in the form of gas, solids or liquids.
• They are incapable to conduct electricity, have a low melting point and are easily breakable.
• The electrons present in non-metal shows a different characteristics behaviour than those of metals.
