Question

Name a non-metal which exists as a liquid at room temperature.

Answer 1

Answer:

Non-metals:

• Non-metals are those chemical elements that do not have the properties of metals.
• They are bad conductors of heat and electricity.

The physical States of non-metals:

• Generally, non-metals are present in all three states in nature.
• Bromine$\left(\mathrm{Br}\right)$ is the only non-metal that exists in a liquid state at room temperature.
• Carbon$\left(\mathrm{C}\right)$ and Phosphorus$\left(\mathrm{P}\right)$ are examples of solid non-metals.
• While Oxygen$\left(O\right)$ and Nitrogen$\left(\mathrm{N}\right)$ are examples of gaseous non-metals.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Bromine$\left(\mathrm{Br}\right)$ is the only non-metal that exists in a liquid state at room temperature.
