Carbon is a non-metal because it have properties of non-metal rather than metal. Carbon is
☆Non-malleable
☆Non-sonorous
☆Non-ductile
☆Non-lustrous (except diamond )
☆Not a conductor of heat and electricity. ....etcetera.
Its valency doesn't matter but it's properties does and it has properties of non-metal . Therefore it is a non-metal.
The products of carbon (like diamond) are also non-metal.
