Nonmetallic element (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carbon

(Other definitions for carbon that I've seen before include "Dioxide or monoxide, say" , "Common element" , "Charcoal is a form of this element" , "Substance" , "C (with a footprint)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Evening Standard.
