NON-METALLIC

MATERIALS

 WHAT ARE ONLY NON-

METALLIC MATERIALS?

Non-metals are rare elements in the Periodic Table, and are

characterized by not being good conductors of heat or
electricity. Its properties are very different from those of
metals. Moreover, they form covalent bonds to form
molecules between them.
