A metal (from Ancient Greek ÎŒÎ­Ï„Î±Î»Î»ÎżÎœ (mĂ©tallon) 'mine, quarry, metal') is a material that when polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. These properties are all associated with having electrons available at the Fermi level, as against

Article says "In physics, a metal is generally regarded as any substance capable of conducting electricity at a temperature of absolute zero." - Is it "generally regarded" or just one persons idea ? It's a very theoretical definition rather than being something that can be tested or measured. If

I removed sulfur nitride from the lede. It's considered a non-metal with some metallic properties. Its inclusion as a metal contradicts a) this article, b) the sulfur nitride article c) formal reference works on the topic. Its original inclusion in 2019 was unreffed.

Neither source has to make exactly that statement. What is included is a rephrasing which is covered in all solid state physics books. Unfortunately you believe that sources must be verbatim, this is wrong. If you want to challenge this I will post on

Since the fact that Pu undergoes a phase change from simple monoclinic to body-centred monoclinic is not germane to the point about its unusual tempertaure coefficient of resistivity, I've removed it. ---
