Nonmetals are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity. Some nonmetals may exist as gases, but not all of them. Nonmetals can also come in different appearances, such as dull or bright, so shininess is not a defining characteristic. Nonmetals can react with both metals and nonmetals, so they do not combine only with metals.
