What else can I help you with?
Does non metals have shiny appearances?
Most non-metals do not have shiny appearances. They often have dull or non-reflective surfaces due to their lack of free electrons that can move around and reflect light. Some non-metals like iodine or graphite can appear shiny under certain conditions, but this is not common.
What is a metals ability to bend called?
A metal's ability to bend without breaking is called malleability. Metals with high malleability can be easily bent or shaped into various forms without fracturing.
Are metalloids malleable and ductile?
Yes, metalloids are ductile they are also malleable, but is not shiny.
What are 4 characteristics of most metals?
Metals tend to be lustrous, ductile, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
What other 4 properties do most metals have common?
Most metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into different shapes. They are also ductile, able to be drawn into wires. Metals are shiny or lustrous, reflecting light. Finally, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Are most metals shiny?
Most probably yes/true.
Most elements are what?
metals

What are the general properties of metal?
well it depends because if it was iron it wouldn't bend that easily and it wouldn't be light weight but if it was something like aluminum it would be easy to bend and it would be light weight also most metals are water proof and all metals conduct heat.
What are 4 properties most commmon to metals?
Luster: Metals have a shiny appearance due to their ability to reflect light. Malleability: Metals can be easily hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking. Ductility: Metals can be drawn into thin wires without breaking. Conductivity: Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity due to the mobility of their electrons.
What is a metals ability to bend called?
A metal's ability to bend without breaking is called malleability. Metals with high malleability can be easily bent or shaped into various forms without fracturing.
The shiny surface of metals have most to do with?
The looseness of electrons in metal atoms.
The appearance of solid metals can be described as what?
Look around your house and you'll find that most metal objects share common appearances. Generally, metals are lustrous (shiny), fairly hard, ductile (they can be stretched), and malleable (they bend instead of break like nonmetals do).
Are metalloids malleable and ductile?
Yes, metalloids are ductile they are also malleable, but is not shiny.
What happens when you bend a piece of indium?
Indium is considered a soft metal and given a piece in a bendable form, it will bend quite easily. It also has a distinct "crying" noise as it is bent. This will happen even at cryogenic temperatures when most metals would simply crack.
Do atoms of most metals lose electrons easily?
No
Brittle metal or nonmetal?
Brittle is an attribute or property of a substance. It is the property of the substance shattering or breaking due to an impact. Consequently some metals are brittle as are some non-metals.
