What else can I help you with?
Are metals non metals or metalloids dull or shiny?
metals are malleable in nature
Is shiny a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
You can make almost anything shiny by polishing it.
What are the names of the major categories of elements on the periodic table?
The major categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually not shiny, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids share properties of both metals and nonmetals.
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. For example, certain allotropes of carbon, like graphite, can have a shiny luster, and some metalloids may also display a shiny surface. Hence, shininess is not exclusively a characteristic of metals.
How do you identify if a substance is metal matalloid or non metal?
In simple terms just by looking at them, and doing an electrical conductivity test you can tell the following. the metals are shiny and conduct electricity. The non-metals which are gases or liquids are easy to distinguish. The solid non metals such as sulfur are not shiny and do not conduct electricity. (graphite conducts electricity but is soft and not that shiny). The metalloids look a bit like metals but are very poor conductors of electricity.
Are all non-metals shiny?
Non-metals are not normally shiny.
Do Metals have shiny appearances?
Yes. That property i called luster.
Are metals non metals or metalloids dull or shiny?
metals are malleable in nature
What are the physical properties of the non metals?
metal- shiny non-metal- dull
Do non metals conduct electricity and are often shiny solids?
no
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Is shiny a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
You can make almost anything shiny by polishing it.
Most elements are what?
metals
Is silicon a metaloid?
Yes, silicon is a metalloid. It exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals, such as being a semiconductor and having a shiny appearance. This positions it between metals and non-metals on the periodic table.
What are the names of the major categories of elements on the periodic table?
The major categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually not shiny, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids share properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Most of the chemical elements can be divided into 2 groups what are these 2 groups?
Chemical elements can be divided into metals and non-metals. Metals typically have properties like luster, conductivity, and malleability, while non-metals are generally less shiny, poor conductors, and more brittle.
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. For example, certain allotropes of carbon, like graphite, can have a shiny luster, and some metalloids may also display a shiny surface.
