Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhodium (Rh) is a transition metal and is therefore most likely to be shiny and malleable. Hydrogen (H) and iodine (I) are nonmetals and are not shiny or malleable. Selenium (Se) is a metalloid and does not have the same level of luster and malleability as transition metals. Silicon (Si) is also a metalloid and is not as malleable as transition metals.
