Why are pure metals shiny and reflect light?
Pure metals have a regular lattice structure that allows light to bounce off the surface uniformly, giving them a shiny appearance. When light hits the metal surface, it interacts with the free electrons in the metal, causing them to vibrate and re-emit the light. This reflection of light gives metals their characteristic shiny and reflective properties.
Does every shiny element has to be a metal?
No, not every shiny element is a metal. While many metals exhibit a shiny appearance due to their ability to reflect light, some non-metals can also appear shiny.

Hence, shininess is not exclusively a characteristic of metals.
