What is the lustre of polonium?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, polonium has a metallic lustre. It's like that shiny, metallic glow you see on some metals, but like, specifically on polonium. So, if you ever come across some polonium and it's looking all shiny and metallic, you know it's got that lustre going on.

Answer 2

Plutonium is a greyish rare earth metal with a dull, silvery surface. It's probably a bit rough when not machined or cast and processed.

It oxidizes in the presence of air, and can swell up to 70% during oxidation and break the container it's in. Its surface can break up (spall, ejecta) and since plutonium is a pyrophoric material, it can burn in air.

It must be handled in an inert gas atmosphere and is therefore usually coated with nickel or gold, and alloyed with gallium, especially in nuclear weapon pits.

Answer 3

It's a dull silvery white metal that oxidises in contact with air. If it gets damp, it swells and flakes off. You don't want to be around it since it's toxic, radioactive and the plutonium flakes can spontaneously ignite.
