Inability of non metals for displacing hydrogen from dilute sulphuric acid

Nonmetals do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids because nonmetals have "tendency to accept electrons". Hence, they cannot provide free electrons in the acidic medium to release hydrogen gas. ... On the contrary, the metals are able to "lose electrons" to form a metal cation.

Answer:
most of the non metals are electronegative in nature, so they tend to gain electrons in the chemical reactions. therefor they are less reactive than hydrogen. so they are not able to displace hydrogen form dilute acids.
