Physical Properties of Nonmetals
The following are the properties of Nonmetals :
Nonmetals have high ionization energies.
They have high electronegativities.
Nonmetals are insulators which means that they’re poor conductors of electricity.
They are dull, they do not have lustre like metals.
Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat. They’re poor thermal conductors.
They are very weak and brittle. They tend to easily break or shatter.
Nonmetals have a low density. They’re light for their size.
They aren’t good conductors of sound and do not make sounds when they are hit.
They tend to gain electrons easily.
Nonmetals maybe solid, liquids or gaseous.
Nonmetals form acidic oxides.
They’re good oxidizing agents.
Generally, Nonmetals have four to eight electrons in the outer shell.
