The definition of a metal includes the fact that it is shiny when freshly cut. Metals that readily oxidise would therefore have a dull appearance as a layer of that metal's oxide would quickly form on the outside. Such metals include Zinc, Magnesium and Lead.
Any metal that has been left to oxidise for a long time would be dull, so copper or even silver, for example, could also be dull.
Unreactive metals are rarely ever dull. Thus Gold and Platinum are examples of metals that are almost never dull.
What else can I help you with?
Are metals non metals or metalloids dull or shiny?
metals are malleable in nature
Which element has a black dull surface and it conducts electrical current well A metal non metal or a metalloid?
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.
The apperance of of solid metals can be described as?
dull and or plain
How would you describe most transition metals Dull?
Most transition metals are characterized by their shiny, metallic luster rather than dullness. They typically have high melting and boiling points, and many are good conductors of heat and electricity. These metals also exhibit variable oxidation states and are known for forming colorful compounds, which is a result of their d-orbitals. Hence, describing them as dull would not accurately reflect their properties or appearance.
Which property is associated with metals dull shiny brittle or poor conductor of electricity?
Metals are associated with being shiny and good conductors of electricity. They are typically not dull, brittle, or poor conductors of electricity.
are metal dull?
dull metals are dull obviously but other than that no
Are metals non metals or metalloids dull or shiny?

The appearance of solid metals can be described as?
By there shape, most of them have a shiny look to them, however some are dull.
Which element has a black dull surface and it conducts electrical current well A metal non metal or a metalloid?
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.
Is non-metal dull?
Non-metals are dull (or they are not shiny as metals).
How can you tell a piece of metal is very old?
Most older metals will be somewhat dull from wear or corrosion- but new metals can be aged to make them look older.
Which are better metals or non metals?
My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
The apperance of of solid metals can be described as?
dull and or plain
Is charcoal dull or shiny?

What are some properties of mixed metals?
There are a number of physical properties that can be present in meted metals. These metals are often very dull in appearance for example.
Which property is associated with metals dull shiny brittle or poor conductor of electricity?
Metals are associated with being shiny and good conductors of electricity. They are typically not dull, brittle, or poor conductors of electricity.
