Answer 1

Answer:

Phosphorous, Sulphur, Chlorine are non-metals.

Explanation:

Metallic and non-metallic characters of the elements depend on their atomic size, nuclear charge and ionization potential. Phosphorous, sulphur, chlorine have atomic numbers 15, 16, 17 respectively. They contain 5, 6, 7 valence electrons in their outermost shell.

Answer 2

Explanation:

the metallic character of an element is depend on atomic size, ionisation potential ,electronegativity ,but it is not depend on melting point
