Answer:

Non-metal

Explanation:

Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity, hence it did not conduct electricity or become warm when held above a flame. Non-metals are also not very malleable and therefore can be broken easily. Most non-metals are gases at room temperature, but there are a few that are solids. These include:

Carbon (C)

Phosphorus (P)

Sulphur (S)

Iodine (I)
