The best description of a nonmetal is:
- Brittle, dull, and low density

Nonmetals are typically characterized by being brittle (meaning they break easily), having a dull appearance (not shiny), and having low density (not heavy for their size). These properties help distinguish nonmetals from metals. Examples of nonmetals include elements like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
