Every element on the periodic table can be classified as metal or non-metal.

(Most non-metals are in the upper-right corner)

Non-metals in the periodic table of elements are: Hydrogen (H2)

Helium (He)**

Boron (B)

Carbon (C)

Nitrogen (N2)

Oxygen (O2)

Fluorine (F2)*

Neon (Ne)**

Silicon (Si)

Phosphorus (P)

Sulfur (S)

Chlorine (Cl2)*

Argon (Ar)**

Arsenic (As)

Selenium (Se)

Bromine (Br2)* , ***

Krypton (Kr)**

Tellurium (Te)

Iodine (I2)*

Xenon (Xe)**

Astatine (At)*

Radon (Rn)**

* Halogens

** Inert Elements

*** Liquid

Non-metal means there are no metal traces at all in the substance or chemical element. They can be gases or elements that do not look like metals. Examples of gases are: hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, neon, argon, krypton, or radon, just to name a few.

Carbon is the most common example of a solid non-metal: in one of its amorphous forms as graphite it is a conductor of electricity but in its form as soot or "carbon black" it is not a conductor and is not shiny in appearance, whilst in its third form of a crystal - diamond - it can be cut to look very shiny!

Most (but not all) non-metals are an insulator.

All gasses are non-metals at normal temperatures and pressures.

There is only ONE liquid non-metal: bromine (Br2). Its color is red.

There is only ONE liquid metal is Mercury (Hg). Its color is silvery
