Question

Name of a solid non-metal.

Answer 1

Nonmetals :

• Nonmetals are electronegative elements that share or receive electrons in chemical reactions.
• Non-metals are elements that have a high band gap (activation energy) and are hence poor conductors of heat and electricity.
• Furthermore, nonmetals lack luster and have four or more electrons in their valence shell.
• Twenty elements have been discovered that exhibit non-metallic characteristics.
• Non-metals are elements on the periodic table's right side.
• Carbon ($\mathrm{C}$), Boron ($\mathrm{B}$), and Silicon ($\mathrm{Si}$) are examples of solid non-metals.
