A chemical element (as boron, carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, chlorine, or argon) that is not classed as a metal because it does not exhibit most of the typical metallic properties. 6, record 1, English, - nonmetal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Non-metals are the elements in groups 14-16 of the periodic table. Non-metals are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well. As opposed to metals, non-metallic elements are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. The non-metals exist in two of the three states of matter at room temperature : gases(such as oxygen) and solids(such as carbon). The non-metals have no metallic luster, and do not reflect light. They have oxidation numbers of ±4,-3, and-2. The Non-Metal elements are : Hydrogen. Carbon. Nitrogen. Oxygen. Phosphorus. Sulfur. Selenium. 7, record 1, English, - nonmetal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
An element that, in general, is characterized chemically by the ability to form anions, acidic oxides and acids, and stable compounds with hydrogen. 6, record 1, English, - nonmetal

Un non-métal est un élément chimique non métallique qui n'est ni un halogène, ni un gaz rare. Les non-métaux comprennent [...] les éléments suivants : [.] - hydrogène; - carbone; - azote; - oxygène; - phosphore; - soufre; - sélénium. 6, record 1, French, - non%2Dm%C3%A9tal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les non-métaux s'opposent aux métaux d'abord par leurs propriétés physiques [...]. Au point de vue chimique, ce sont des éléments électronégatifs [et] leurs oxydes sont [...] acides ou neutres. 7, record 1, French, - non%2Dm%C3%A9tal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les propriétés physiques des non-métaux les différencient nettement des métaux : ils conduisent mal l'électricité (conductivité électrique) et la chaleur (conductivité thermique); ils ne sont ni malléables, ni ductiles. [...] Les non-métaux forment généralement des liaisons ioniques avec les métaux. 6, record 1, French, - non%2Dm%C3%A9tal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Le tableau périodique des éléments était autrefois divisé en 3 groupes : les métaux, les semi-métaux, et les éléments non métalliques ou métalloïdes. Les éléments non métalliques comprenaient les non-métaux (listés ci-dessus), les halogènes et les gaz rares. 6, record 1, French, - non%2Dm%C3%A9tal

Plastic laminates have been a popular material for covering cabinet tops, table tops, etc., but they are also used as a wall covering.... In some cases, a sheet of aluminum foil is inserted between the base and the decorative center layer. This is intended to dissipate heat and prevent marring of the surface from burns. 5, record 2, English, - plastic%20laminate

Representative operating data for a six-effect set of evaporators are given in Table 10-1. As the solids content increases, so does the difference between the boiling liquor temperature and the condensing temperature of its associated vapor. This temperature difference(called the "boiling point rise") significantly reduces the available driving force for heat transfer in the higher-solids effects and is a major factor limiting the number of effects which are feasible in a set of evaporators. 1, record 3, English, - boiling%20point%20rise

Des valeurs représentatives du fonctionnement d'un système à six effets sont données au tableau 10.1. Quand la teneur en matières sèches augmente, la différence de température entre le liquide et les buées s'accroît aussi. Cet écart de température (appelé «élévation du point d'ébullition») est utilisé en principe comme une indication de la concentration en matières sèches dans chaque corps. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20du%20point%20d%27%C3%A9bullition
