poor conductors of heat and electricity
solids are brittle
mostly solids
good conductors of heat and electricity
found in multiple states of matter (i.e. solid, liquid or gas)
rewatch submit

Explanation:

• Non - metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity as they lack free electrons for easy transfer.
• Non - metal solids are brittle because of their covalent bonding structure which doesn't allow for easy deformation.
• Non - metals can be found in multiple states of matter. For example, carbon (solid), bromine (liquid), and oxygen (gas).
• Non - metals are not mostly solids. In fact, most non - metals are either gases or solids with a significant number of gaseous non - metals.
• Non - metals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.

Answer:

Poor conductors of heat and electricity, Solids are brittle, Found in multiple states of matter (i.e. solid, liquid or gas)
