Answer 2

Nitrogen dioxide is a compound made of two nonmetals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitrogen dioxide is made by 1 nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms. Nitrogen and oxygen are both gases. That being close to being metalloids they aren't because they can't change their structure as metalloids do. Their covalent bonds are also weaker to be considered metalloids.
