Does non metals have shiny appearances?
It depends on the element. Some metals have very un-shiny appearences, and some non-metals are very reflective.
Is calcium shiny?
why u asking me mate? i have a frickin donkey brain baby ohh yaa
When non metals are most active they can do what?
easily gain electrons
What properties of metals can be observed just by looking at them?
All but one (mercury) are solid at room temperature, most of them have a shiny surface
What is a metals ability to bend called?
Ductility is the ability to bend without breaking. Malleability is the ability to be flattened without breaking. Gold is the most mallable metal known to man.
Does non metals have shiny appearances?
It depends on the element. Some metals have very un-shiny appearences, and some non-metals are very reflective.
Are most metals shiny?
Most probably yes/true.
What are the general properties of metal?
well it depends because if it was iron it wouldn't bend that easily and it wouldn't be light weight but if it was something like aluminum it would be easy to bend and it would be light weight also most metals are water proof and all metals conduct heat.
The appearance of solid metals can be described as what?
Look around your house and you'll find that most metal objects share common appearances. Generally, metals are lustrous (shiny), fairly hard, ductile (they can be stretched), and malleable (they bend instead of break like nonmetals do).
The shiny surface of metals have most to do with?
The looseness of electrons in metal atoms.
What happens when you bend a piece of indium?
Indium is considered a soft metal and given a piece in a bendable form, it will bend quite easily. It also has a distinct "crying" noise as it is bent. This will happen even at cryogenic temperatures when most metals would simply crack.
Brittle metal or nonmetal?
Brittle is an attribute or property of a substance. It is the property of the substance shattering or breaking due to an impact. Consequently some metals are brittle as are some non-metals.
Do atoms of most metals lose electrons easily?
No
What element of the periodic table is soft and shiny and malleable?
There are very many elements which are shiny and reflective.
The appearance of solid metals can be described as?
By there shape, most of them have a shiny look to them, however some are dull.
What are elements that are shiny and are good heat conductors called?
Metals. They range on the Periodic Table from periods 1-17.
Which metals or most easily oxidized?
Highly active metals are the most easily oxidized because they react with oxygen easily.
