Non-metallic Elements

Elements that do not exhibit metallic characteristics, broadly classified into metalloids, nonmetals, and noble gases, such as carbon, sulfur, and neon.

Conduct Electricity

The ability of a substance to allow the flow of electrical current or charges through it.

Conduct Heat

To conduct heat means to transfer thermal energy through a substance, due to a temperature difference, without the substance itself moving significantly.
