    Question

    Which of the following is a property of a non-metal?

    1. Conducts electricity and heats well
    2. Can be hammered into thin sheets
    3. Is brittle and breaks easily
    4. Has a shiny, metallic luster

    Hint:

    Non metals are brittle.

    The correct answer is: Is brittle and breaks easily

      • Non metals do not conduct heat and electricity.
      • Non metals cannot be hammered into sheets.
      • Non metals are brittle and breaks easily.
      • Non metals has shiny, metallic luster.
