Question

which is the property of nonmetals to evaporate easily?
○ brittle
○ dense
○ liquid
○ volatile

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Brittle" refers to a material that breaks easily, not related to evaporation.
• "Dense" relates to mass per unit volume, not evaporation.
• "Liquid" is a state of matter, not a property describing evaporation tendency.
• "Volatile" is defined as a substance's tendency to evaporate easily, which matches the question's description of nonmetals evaporating easily.

Answer:

D. volatile
