nonmetallic
Nonmetallic refers to a term used in chemistry for elements that lack metallic attributes. These elements are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, have lower melting and boiling points, and are unable to be drawn into wires or hammered into sheets. Nonmetallic elements are often found in the right side of the periodic table and include elements such as oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. In a broader sense, nonmetallic may also refer to substances or materials that do not contain metal or do not possess the physical or chemical properties of a metal.
