It is an IONIC solid.
Common table salt is an ionic solid. It will not conduct electricity. However, when dissolved in water, an electrical current can be passed through the salt solution.
An ionic solid in the solid form is held together by electrostatic force. However, when dissolved in water the particles separate as charged ions.
For sodium chloride.
NaCl(s) = Na^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq).
It is these charged particles )ions), moving about are the electrical conduction.
Metal has a metallic luster and is a conductor.
platinum is a metal because it is shiny but it can be a metalloid or transition metal
Krypton is not a metal, so therefore, it is not shiny or dull. It is a noble gas, and it's colorless and odorless.

Tin has two forms (allotropes) one is "white tin" (beta-tin) which is a metal although some chemists/metrial scientists would call it a "poor metal"- and "grey tin" (alpha-tin), a low temperature form, which has a similar structure to diamond and more covalent in character. So one allotrope is a metal and the other isn't. Probably the answer a school teacher expects is tin is metal.
Tranition metals
Metals are elements that conduct electric current and heat well and have shiny appearance.
A metal is a shiny element that conducts electricity and heat.
The element is most likely a metal, as metals tend to have good electrical conductivity. The description of a black, dull surface suggests that the metal may not be very shiny or reflective, giving it a dull appearance.
Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.

Silver is a shiny element that is a good conductor of both thermal energy and electric current. It has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal, making it highly effective for conducting electricity. Additionally, silver also has a high thermal conductivity, allowing it to efficiently transfer heat.
Shiny elements are good conductors of thermal energy and electric current because their surface is smooth, allowing for efficient transfer of energy and current. The shiny surface helps reduce heat and energy resistance, making them ideal for applications where heat transfer and conductivity are important.
A metal such as silver or copper fits this description. These metals have high electrical conductivity and also exhibit a shiny appearance when polished.
d is the answer. Just one valence electron- all te other characteristics are shared with oter metals.
A metal is a substance that is generally shiny, malleable (can be bent), and conducts heat and electricity due to its metallic bonding structure. Metals such as copper, gold, and silver are examples of shiny and conductive materials commonly used in various applications.
