Francium has a metallic appearance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francium).
Due to its extremely short half life, no one has ever seen francium in large enough amounts to be visible. The largest amount of francium ever collected was 10,000 atoms of it.
If one were to see a piece of francium however, it would probably appear as a brightly glowing object due to its high rate of decay.</P>

∙ 10y agoFermium is typically prepared in only at most microgram quantities where lustre might be difficult to observe. However, as one of the metallic elements in the actinide series it is very likely that, given a sample of sufficient size, fermium would prove to have a metallic lustre.

There are no known stable isotopes of the element with an atomic number of a 56 B 38 C100 D 20?
Element 20 is Tin. Element 38 is Strontium. Element 56 is is Barium. Element 100 Fermium. Fermium is artificially created, and has no stable isotopes. In general, there are no stable isotopes heavier than Bismuth (element 83).
If an element has gray luster and can be drawn into a wire what element is it?
it is a metal
How much does fermium cost per pound?
Not sure, but considering that its only known use is for experimental uses in the lab, probably not much other than the cost of producing it. Not for sale !
