What's a substance called that is shiny, malleable, and poor conductor of electricity? a.) metal b.) non-metal c.) metalloid note: this question is confusing me, because metals are shiny, malleable, yet good conductors of electricity according to google. then non-metal's are poor conductors of electricity, yet brittle and not often shiny. metalloid is probably the answer, however it does still say their relatively good conductors. xd.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
