Question

Non metals around us such as stone has very high melting point still we count it as non metal?

Answer 1

Here is your answer

We just can't categorise any substance on any one property.
There are many other substances like mercury which is at liquid state at room temperature and sodium which can be cut by a knife but still they are metals which usually are hard and solid.
There are other properties of metals like lusture, malleability, high melting and boiling points, conductivity and sonority.
As stones are hard and have high meling point but we can't say them metals as they don't show other main properties of metals.

Answer 2

A non-metal is an element on the periodic table that does not have the properties of a metallic element, such as malleability. Nonmetals are usually found in nature as gases or weak, brittle solids. All group 17 and 18 elements are nonmetals, as well as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, and selenium.
hello here is the explanation only 1 characteristics won't make a nonmetal a metal as stone has high intermolecular space that's why stone has high melting point
