Question

Name one non metal which is lustrous and conducts electricity.

Answer 1

Copper is a metal. The non metal which is lustrous is GRAPHITE (an allotrope of carbon). Graphite is also a good conductor of electricity.

Answer 2

Answer:  

Graphite is a ‘metal’ which is lustrous and conducts electricity.

Explanation:  

Non-metals are usually non-conductors of electricity. Graphite is an ‘allotrope of carbon’. Graphite is arranged in layers of carbon. It has the property such that the electron in the last shell has the ability to migrate, hence graphite can conduct electricity.

Similarly, the graphite has properties of both ‘metal and non-metal’ hence it gives a characteristic lustre.
