What does luster mean?
A physical property that describes the ability of a substance to transfer heat or electrical energy
A physical property that describes the way the surface of a substance shines or reflects light, ranging between metallic (shiny) and nonmetallic (dull)
A physical property that describes the ability of a material to be permanently reshaped without breaking or cracking
A pure substance composed of the same type of atom throughout

Which of the following is a property of a non-metal?
Conducts electricity
Can be hammered into thin sheets
Is brittle and breaks easily
Has a shiny, metallic luster
Iron (Fe) is classified as a metal while Silicon (Si) is classified as a metalloid. Which physical property do these two elements most likely have in common? They both —
exist as gases at room temperature
have a metallic shine or luster
are brittle and shatter easily
conduct electricity very well
Which of the following tables correctly lists the properties of metals and non-metals?
A student tested the conductivity of four elements using an incomplete electrical circuit. When the element is placed in the circuit, the bulb lights up brightly, lights up dimly, or does not light up at all based on the element’s ability to conduct electricity. The table shows the results of her investigation. Based on the results of the conductivity test, which element is classified as a metal?
Hydrogen
Arsenic
Krypton
Copper
