- Non-Malleable and Ductile: Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets.
- High ionization energies.
- High electronegativities.
- Poor thermal conductors.
- Poor electrical conductors.
- Brittle solids—not malleable or ductile.
- Little or no metallic luster.
- Gain electrons easily.
- Dull, not metallic-shiny, although they may be colorful
