Yes, sodium has a metallic luster. When freshly cut, sodium displays a shiny, silvery appearance due to its metallic properties. However, it quickly tarnishes when exposed to air, forming a dull oxide layer. This luster is characteristic of many metals, although sodium is highly reactive and not often seen in its pure form.
Pure sodium chloride crystals are transparent.
That is a physical property. The metallic silver luster is a characteristic of the way light interacts with the surface of the sodium metal, rather than a result of a chemical reaction.
Sodium is not a property of anything. It is a metal with its own properties.
At room temperature, sodium metal is so soft that it can be easily cut with a knife. In air, the bright silvery luster of freshly exposed sodium will rapidly tarnish.
