Which element is most likely to be shiny? sulfur (s) boron (b) calcium (ca) carbon (c)

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances which have excess of electrons. They have shiny surface and metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Whereas non-metals are electron deficient in nature and they are brittle and ductile.

In the given options, sulfur, boron and carbon are non-metals. Hence, they are  not shiny. Whereas calcium is a metal.

Therefore, we can conclude that calcium is the element which is most likely to be shiny.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
