Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

Non-metals can exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous states at room temperature (25°C). Based on the options provided:

  • Boron (B): It is a solid non-metal (often classified as a metalloid) at room temperature. Other examples of solid non-metals include Carbon, Phosphorus, and Sulfur.
  • Bromine (Br): It is the only non-metal that exists in a liquid state at room temperature.
  • Krypton (Kr) and Radon (Rn): These are noble gases (Group 18 elements) and exist in the gaseous state at room temperature.

Since the question asks for a non-metal in the solid state, Boron is the correct choice.
