I suppose if I have to pick one, I'd say "nonmetal", because there's no metal called "lustrous". There's no metal called "love" either, so I guess love is also a nonmetal.
A better answer might be "the word has nothing to do with the elemental metal/nonmetal dichotomy, and the question is therefore essentially meaningless".
What else can I help you with?
What method is used to find out if a substance is metal or non-metal?
One common method to determine if a substance is a metal or non-metal is to observe its physical properties. Metals tend to be shiny, opaque, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity, whereas non-metals are usually dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Additionally, elements are arranged into these categories on the periodic table based on their chemical properties.
Scandium a metal or is it a non metal substance?
Scandium is a metal.
Is a shiny substance used to make flexible bed springs?
Yes, a shiny substance such as steel wire is commonly used to make flexible bed springs. The steel wire is treated to give it its shiny appearance and to ensure durability and flexibility in the springs.
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.
What if your friend tells you that a shiny element has to be a metal do you agree?
No; think of carbon. This is a non-metallic element; it exists in the forms of diamond and graphite - both "shiny" substances.
Is coal a non-metal?
Yes, the element Carbon is a non-metalelement.Coal is not an element, it is a substance, but it definitely doesn't look to be a metal: black, not shiny mirroring in light, not malable, ... etc.
What are the physical properties of the non metals?
metal- shiny non-metal- dull

Scandium a metal or is it a non metal substance?
Scandium is a metal.
Is iodine metal shiny or dull?
Iodine is a non-metal element and appears as a shiny, dark purple solid when in its crystalline form.
Greyish solid that is shiny when sanded metal or non metal?
calcium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc or caesium.

An unidentifiable Substance is shiny and malleable?
The substance could be a metal like gold or silver, known for their malleability and shiny appearance. It could also potentially be a metal alloy or some other reflective material. It is important to conduct further testing to accurately identify the substance.
Is magnesium metal non-metal or metalloid?
Magnesium is a metal. It is a shiny, silvery metal that is lightweight and has good electrical conductivity.

What is a substance called form from metal and a non meatal?
An ionic substance, or a salt
Cu metal non metal?
Copper (Cu) is a metal. Metals are elements that are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals, on the other hand, are elements that are generally not shiny, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
