So all the exceptions like this should be learned by students because these types of questions come in the chemistry exam. Noble gases and halogens are also nonmetals, these elements are often referred to as nonmetals. Nonmetals are chemical elements that do not have the properties of a metal. Students should remember all these different between metal and non metal.
