Answer 1

The correct statement is: Most nonmetals are gaseous, but some are liquid or solid.

At room temperature, the majority of nonmetals, such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H), are gases. However, some nonmetals like bromine (Br) are liquid, and others like carbon (C) and sulfur (S) are solid.
