Heya Mate.....
In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. A nonmetal is typically brittle when solid and usually has poor thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity.
Hope this will help you..

Define non- metals.

Those type of elements whose nature is of gaining electrons form their outermost shell is called non-metals.
A non-metal is simply an element that does not display the properties of metals.
They are at right side of the periodic table.They have high electronegativities,and are poor heat and electrical contractors.
Non -metals have lower melting and boiling point.
examples of non-metals.
Cl = 2,8,7
F = 2,7
C=2,4
O= 2,6
