Answer:
The correct answer is option B, that is, non-metals tend to exhibit high electronegativity and ionization energy.
Explanation:
A chemical element, which is primarily devoid of the feature of metal is termed as a non-metal. A non-metal generally exhibit poor electrical and thermal conductivity and is brittle in solid-state. The non-metals generally possess a comparatively low boiling and melting point and also has low density.
Chemically, the non-metals exhibit comparatively high electron affinity, high electronegativity, and high ionization energy. Upon reaction with other elements and chemical compounds, these elements share or gain electrons. The non-metals are typically seventeen in number and are differentiated into two kinds, that is, noble gases and reactive non-metals.
The statement about non-metals that is correct is B. Non-metals tend to have high ionization energy and high electronegativity.
A non-metal doesn't she the characteristics of a metal. It has poor thermal and electrical conductivity. Also, non-metals have a low melting point and low density.
On the other hand, mon-metals have high ionization energy, high electronegativity, and high electron affinity. When there react with other elements, they gain electrons.
