what is the shininess of hassium?

Unknown: insufficient amounts have been produced for optical tests.

Los Alamos national lab has a good periodic table/ elemental factoids.\n\nLanthanum is La.  It is the beginning of the "Lanthanides".

Since there are no metallic ions like sodium or copper to produce intense visible light wavelength emissions, I would suspect that the flame would be colorless or the kind of yellow flame you see at natural gas flaring.  I've not done this experiment (it's pretty hazardous).

what I know is that its a special machine that can magnify the elements to nanometers where you are able to see it. If you used this machine on lets say a NaCl crytyl lattics, you would see the solid as Na+ ions and Cl- ions coming together in an organized lattice.

You need to look at a Periodic Table. The farther to the left of the table an element is, the more metallic it is.

It depends on how far away from the noble gases they are. Like anything in gourp IA would be 1+, IIA 2+ etc, then when theyre closer to the right then its like VIIA 1-, VIA 2-\n\nTransition metals are different because they form multiple ions. It would indicate what the charge is.

helium neon argon krypton xenon radon\nyou probably do not need to know ununoctium because it was just discovered, is radioactive, and radioactively decays in a few seconds.

That's light in the visible spectrum. I'd imagine a great deal of compounds could, especially since "great absorbance" means nothing, in scientific terms.

gold because it's most shiny.\n\n*How many questions do you ask in a day?*

Violet (about 400 nm) [for visible light (380 THz to 750 THz)]

The key to your answer is “brushed aluminum.”\nThe surfaces which reflect just a red dot are usually polished or very flat.  This causes them to reflect the laser light just like a mirror, with very little scattering.\nBrushed aluminum, on the other hand, has very tiny scratches on its surface.  The sides of these scratches will cause the laser light to scatter in different directions, forming the “halo.”

Not an element; yes its still the king of hardness\nThere are experiments ongoing with low-speed nuclear bombardment of iridium with smaller nuclei which are producing very thin layers of great density that approaches the hardness of diamond.

If it's metallic, it could be sodium or potassium.

Iridium is used in very shiny stainless steel.

Indeed, it is the metal. \n\nThe accompanying in is usually NO3 or SO4--Colorless!!\n\n\nGet an "A".
