Detailed explanation-1: -Non-Malleable and Ductile: Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sulphur and phosphorus are both brittle and non-ductile.
Detailed explanation-4: -After the nonmetallic elements are classified as either noble gases, halogens or metalloids (following), the remaining seven nonmetals are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur and selenium.
