Question

Graphite and iodine are non metals but they shine. Give Reason with example

Answer 1

They r an exception to the property of non lustre of non-metal.....,like graphite is an exception to the property of non-electrical conduction by non metal

Answer 2

Graphite and iodine are non-metals but they shine:

• The reason for the shine emitted by graphite is the reflection from the lattice structure, property of non-luster of non-metal.

• Another feature of graphite is that it is conducive for electricity.

• The reason for the shine of Iodine is given by its increasing atomic size which is why it is at the bottom of the groups in the periodic table.

• The nonmetals tend to exhibit metallic characteristics as we go down in the group.

• This can be given by examples from carbon to lead and oxygen to polonium, Diamond.
