Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonmetals share many similar properties including:

They are either gas (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) or solid (carbon, sulfur) under standard conditions.

They are not good conductors of electricity or heat.

They are very brittle in their solid form.

They are not malleable or ductile.
