To determine which element is most likely a nonmetal, we can consider some key properties of nonmetals:
1. Nonmetals are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity.
2. Nonmetals generally have a low melting and boiling point.
3. Nonmetals tend to have a low density.
4. Nonmetals often have a dull or non-shiny appearance.
5. Nonmetals are mostly gases or brittle solids, and very few are liquids.
Among the elements, there are several nonmetallic elements based on these properties, but one of the most common and well-known nonmetals is carbon (C). Carbon possesses all the properties mentioned above, and it can exist in various forms such as graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon.
