Sulfur nitride - a metal molecular compound
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.

I reverted this edit on June 20th and added supporting citations. Sandbh (talk)
Other metal molecular compounds
Are there less controversial metal (or metallic) molecular compounds ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hyper link edit request
The introduction discusses the "malleable" property of metal, but the hyperlink redirects to the "Ductility" page instead. Aeronchair (talk) 06:54, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is because malleability does not have a standalone article. It instead redirects to ductility, an article which discusses both properties, so the link is not broken. Complex/Rational 11:47, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Graphite - is it a metal
Can we clarify if graphite is considered a metal, Since it conducts electricity moderately well and seems to have the general characteristics (of a metal) in the introduction. Or, Is it too soft to be a metal ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Physics definition
Article says "In physics, a metal is generally regarded as any substance capable of conducting electricity at a temperature of absolute zero.[2]" - 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 true, it would make all materials, while superconducting, metals. A more usual definition of a metal might be having free electrons in a conduction band ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
