Question

why do non metals have low densities​

Answer 1

The bonding between their molecules are generally weak london or dispersion forces due to which there are less forces of attraction. Also they dont have definitine packing like metals. Apart from diamond, there is no specific packing in the non metals. Due to which the volume is quite high and in turn low density.

=>Why do non metals have low density?

Lack of structure - hence being classified as a non metal. And inability to get packed as closely as normal atomic structure would allow are primary reasons why most non metals will have lower densities.

Do nonmetals have low density?

Do nonmetals have low density?As compared to metals, they have low density and will melt at low temperatures. The shape of a nonmetal cannot be changed easily as they tend to be brittle and will break. Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are called metalloids. They can be shiny or dull and their shape is easily changed.
