The correct Answer is:
To determine which properties are shown by non-metals from the given list, we will analyze each property one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Form Acidic Oxides**: - Non-metals typically form acidic oxides. For example, carbon dioxide (CO2) is an oxide of carbon, which is a non-metal, and it is acidic in nature. - **Conclusion**: This property is correct for non-metals. 2. **Produce Sound on Hitting**: - Non-metals are generally non-sonorous, meaning they do not produce sound when struck. Metals, on the other hand, are sonorous. - **Conclusion**: This property is incorrect for non-metals. 3. **High Tensile Strength**: - Non-metals usually have low tensile strength compared to metals. Metals are known for their ability to withstand tension without breaking. - **Conclusion**: This property is incorrect for non-metals. 4. **Low Density**: - Non-metals typically have lower densities compared to metals. For example, gases like oxygen and nitrogen are non-metals and have very low densities. - **Conclusion**: This property is correct for non-metals. 5. **Brittle**: - Non-metals are often brittle, meaning they can break easily when subjected to stress. For example, sulfur and phosphorus are non-metals that can break when hit. - **Conclusion**: This property is correct for non-metals. ### Summary of Findings: - The properties that are shown by non-metals from the list are: 1. Form acidic oxides (Correct) 2. Produce sound on hitting (Incorrect) 3. High tensile strength (Incorrect) 4. Low density (Correct) 5. Brittle (Correct) ### Final Answer: The properties shown by non-metals are: - (i) Form acidic oxides - (iv) Low density - (v) Brittle Therefore, the correct option is the one that includes properties (i), (iv), and (v). ---

To determine which properties are shown by non-metals from the given list, we will analyze each property one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Form Acidic Oxides**: - Non-metals typically form acidic oxides.
