Chlorine, which is a gas at room temperature, and sulfur, often found as a brittle solid, belong to this category of elements.
NON-METALS
This Greek philosopher proposed that matter is composed of tiny, indivisible units called “atomos.”
Democritus
This English scientist developed the first modern atomic theory in the early 1800s.
John Dalton
Found in the outermost shell of an atom, these electrons play a key role in chemical bonding and determine an element’s reactivity.
