do not conduct electricity or heat, lower melting and boiling points (many are gases at room temperature), solid non-metals are brittle, aren't malleable or ductile
1 of 7
properties of non-metals II
look dull, low density, often form negative ions when they react, react with oxygen to form oxides that are acidic
2 of 7
