A substance has a lustrous surface, conducts electricity, and displays the characteristics of malleability and ductility. This substance is a nonmetal. True or false?

True
False

Explanation

Answer: False

The statement is false; the substance is not a nonmetal. Each of the attributes listed is characteristic of a metal. Metals have a shiny surface and readily conduct electric current. Due to their delocalized bonding, metals can also be hammered into sheets (malleability) and pulled into wire (ductility).
