Metallic, sub metallic, and nonmetallic are properties of the mineral luster.
Corundum's luster is metallic.
Yes, diamonds are considered submetallic because they exhibit a high luster similar to that of metals, but they do not have the properties of a true metal. Diamonds are made of carbon and are the hardest known natural substance.
No. The classifications are metallic, submetallic, and nonmetallic.
A mineral's ability to reflect light or shine is called luster. Luster is categorized as metallic, non-metallic, or submetallic and is influenced by properties such as the mineral's crystal structure and the presence of impurities. observing luster can help identify minerals and their composition.
The first one is metallic luster and it has the look of a polished metal. The second one is sub-metallic and it has the look of a metal that has been damaged by weathering or corrosion. The last one is nonmetallic and it doesn't have the look of metal.
Luster. It describes how a mineral reflects light and can be used to distinguish different minerals based on their appearance. Minerals with a metallic luster appear shiny like metal, those with a submetallic luster are somewhat shiny, and those with a nonmetallic luster do not appear shiny.
Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
Metallic glasses are new type of materials which possess both the properties of metals and glasses .. OR Metallic glasses are the amorphous metallic solids which have high strength, good magnetic properties and better corrosion resistance and will possess both the properties of metals and glasses.
Yes, minerals containing metals often have a shiny luster due to the presence of metallic bonds in their structure, which allows them to reflect light. This can give the mineral a metallic or submetallic appearance, depending on the specific metal present in the mineral.
No. Noble gasses are elements that rarely, if ever form chemical bonds. The elements with both metallic and nonmetallic properties are the metalloids.
No. they are not all gases. e.g. sulphur
