Unlike non-metals, most metals tend to —

• conduct electricity and heat well.
• be gases at room temperature.
• break easily when hammered.
• have less luster and shine.

The word “luster” refers to which property of matter?

• The ability to conduct electrical or thermal energy
• Capable of being drawn out into thin wires
• The way a surface appears when it reflects light
• Suitable for being shaped by beating or rolling
