This is a metal!

I believe this is a metal because non-metal can be cut out instantly as this element shown has a metallic luster. Metalloids can be removed as they are worse at the conduction of electricty than metals, and all of the other properties listed are properties held by metals.

(BTW, the density is 19.3 grams cm3)

(BTW, because this element has the given density and properties it is gold)

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!
