4. Non-Metals are Not Lustrous (Not Shiny). They are Dull in Appearance.
Non-metals do not have lustre (chamak) which means that non-metals do not have a shining surface. The solid non-metals have a dull appearance. For example, sulphur and phosphorus are non-metals which have no lustre, that is, they do not have a shining surface. They appear to be dull. There is, however, an exception. Iodine is a non-metal having lustrous appearance. It has a shining surface (like that of metals).
