Is aluminum dull or shiny?

Aluminium metal is shiny. However, it is a very reactive metal with oxygen (air). So if a piece is cut in the lab. you may briefly, (a second or two) see a shiny metal. It then rapidly oxides to form the impervious layer of aluminium oxide , which is dull in appearance. So domestic aluminium pots and pans , whilst made of aluminium, the surface that you see is actually aluminium oxide(dull).

Does copper or aluminum rust faster?

Neither rust. Only iron rusts. However, copper and aluminium both oxidise. Aluminium oxidises extremely quickly. It you cut a piece of aluminium in the air, it immediately oxidises. The surface that you see/feel for aluminium is actually aluminium oxide. (Al2O3). The surface of aluminium pots and pans in the kitchen is actually aluminium oxide. . Aluminium oxide is impervious to further oxidation and so the aluminium underneath remains as aluminium . Copper on the other hand is a much slower oxidiser. The brown/red colour of copper metal will slowly tarnish (oxidise) over a period of days and weeks, to become a dull colour and if left for a longer time , may go black as copper oxide, or green as copper carbonate.
