Answer:
No, an element cannot be determined by its physical nature like hard and shining surface because iodine is a non-metal and it has a shiny surface, whereas diamond, a allotrope of carbon which is the hardest substance available on earth is made if non-metal. Hence we cannot determine an element as a metal by its physical nature alone.
