We cannot determine if nonmetals are strong or not since they exist in any of the 3 states:solid,liquid,or gases.

But generally,nonmetals are characterized that they are non-ductile.

There are some nonmetals that are strong such as:wood and glass,and in the same time there are some nonmetals that are not as strong such as :coal which we can dismantle easily.

What is a force that holds together the atoms substance?

Metal atoms are held together by strong Electrostatic forces that make metals typically strong and solid. Non metals are held together by ether Covalent bonds between two non metals, Ionic bonds between a metal and a non metal.

Are all noble gases nonreactive?

All noble gases are unreactive at S.T.P. However at high temperature and pressure, xenon and krypton will react with electronegative elements such as flourine and oxygen to form fluorides and oxyfluorides.


Are halogens metals or non non-metals?

Non metals


Why group 17 elements are strong non metals while grour 1 elements are strong metals?

Group 17 elements (halogens) are strong non-metals because they have high electronegativity and tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Group 1 elements (alkali metals) are strong metals because they have low electronegativity and tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
