Question

The element given below is dull and brittle. It is:

  1. Metal
  2. Non-metal
  3. Metalloid
  4. None of the above

Hint:

Non metals are brittle and dull.

The correct answer is: Non-metal


    • Metals are hard and lustrous.
    • Non metals are brittle and non lustrous.
    • The elements are dull and brittle hence, a non metal.
