Question

multiple choice question
all nonmetals _.
o are poor electrical conductors
o are liquid at room temperature
o are strong and flexible
o have hard, shiny surfaces

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Non - metals generally have high resistance to the flow of electric current. For example, substances like sulfur, phosphorus (solid non - metals) are poor conductors. Gaseous non - metals (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen) also do not conduct electricity well as there are no free electrons or ions to carry the charge.
On the other hand, non - metals are not all liquid at room temperature (most are either solid or gas). They are not strong and flexible (properties more associated with some metals and polymers). And they do not have hard, shiny surfaces (metals are known for their shiny surfaces in many cases).

Answer:

are poor electrical conductors
