Question

Which properties are characteristics of nonmetals? Check all that apply. malleable brittle solid at room temperature low density electrical insulator thermal conductor

Answer 1

They are brittle, have low density and are electrical insulator

Answer 2

Explanation:

Non-metals are the elements which are placed at the extreme right in the periodic table.

Some properties of non-metals are as follows.

• Non-metals are brittle.
• Poor conductors of heat and electricity.
• They are not necessarily solid at room temperature.
• They are not thermal conductors.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, brittle, low density, and electrical insulator are characteristics of non-metals.
