Additional information -

1. We know that, non-metal are soft but Carbon (in the form of Diamond) is extremely hard.
2. We know that, non-metal are not shiny but Iodine is shiny.
3. We know that, non-metal have low melting point and boiling point but Diamond has very high melting point and boiling point.
4. Non-metal have low densities.
5. Non-metal have many different colour.
6. Non-metal aren't sonorous.
7. Non-metal reacts with oxygen to form acidic oxide or neutral oxides.
8. Non-metal do not reacts with water.
