Nonmetals do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids because nonmetals have "tendency to accept electrons". Hence, they cannot provide free electrons in the acidic medium to release hydrogen gas. This is the reason why nonmetals do not release hydrogen gas in acidic medium.

Answer:

most of the non metals are electronegetive in nature, so they tend to gain electrons in the chemical reactions. therefor they are less reactive than hydrogen. so they are not able to displace hydrogen form dilute acids
