Nonmetals: Properties and Examples

Give examples.
Nonmetals are a class of elements that do not exhibit the typical properties of metals. They are typically soft, flexible, and have a low melting point. Nonmetals are also poor conductors of heat and electricity, and they tend to be more reactive than metals.
Examples of nonmetals include:

1. Carbon (C) - found in diamonds, graphite, and other forms of carbon
2. Nitrogen (N) - found in nitrogen gas and many organic compounds
3. Oxygen (O) - found in oxygen gas and many oxides
4. Sulfur (S) - found in sulfuric acid and many organosulfur compounds
5. Phosphorus (P) - found in phosphate minerals and many organophosphorus compounds
6. Halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) - found in fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine compounds
7. Silicon (Si) - found in silicon dioxide and many other silicon-containing compounds
8. Germanium (Ge) - found in germanium dioxide and some semiconductor materials
9. Arsenic (As) - found in arsenic oxides and some minerals
10. Antimony (Sb) - found in antimony oxides and some alloys.

These elements are typically found in the nonmetal column of the periodic table, which is located on the right side of the table.
