Jacinta is learning about the chemicals involved in breathing. Oxygen gas, water vapor, and carbon dioxide are all compounds formed by the chemical reactions between nonmetal elements. Which statement can Jacinta correctly make about the chemical properties of nonmetals. A. Many nonmetals react with both metals and nonmetals.
B. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
C. Many nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
D. Nonmetals react only with other nonmetals.

The correct statement is; many  nonmetals react with both metals and nonmetals.

Nonmetals are found towards the right  hand side of the periodic table. They begin immediately after the metals. Nonmetals are lesser in number compared to nonmetals in the periodic table.

Many of the known nonmetallic elements exist as gases as room temperature. Some also exits as solids and liquids receptively. Based on the information in the question, the  statement that Jacinta  can correctly make about the chemical properties of nonmetals is that many nonmetals react with both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

the element that provides strength to the exoskeletons of clams and oysters is phosphorus.

this is so because calcium carbonate is the main component in the shells. calcium carbonate is strengthened by phosphorus.
