that is supposed to be unknown until you figure it out.
Scientists determine metal composition using techniques such as spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence, and mass spectrometry. These methods analyze the elemental makeup of a sample by measuring the emission or absorption of energy when it interacts with the metal atoms. By comparing these signals to known standards, scientists can identify and quantify the metals present in a sample.
A wet metal sample can have water molecules attached to its surface, which can affect its mass and volume measurements. Removing water ensures accurate data and prevents errors in calculations.
A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 35.4g and a volume of 3.11cm^3. The metal is Lead.
A green flame is due probable to copper.
You can see if its a metalliod or a metal or a non-metal.

A forensic scientist might use a flame test when trying to identify a metal ion present in a sample. By observing the color of the flame when the sample is burned, they can determine the presence of specific metal ions based on the characteristic colors emitted. This technique can help in identifying unknown substances in a crime scene or forensic investigation.

You think probable to gallium.
Based on the properties you described, the unknown element is likely a metal. Metals are typically shiny and good conductors of electricity. You could also predict that it is likely malleable and ductile, as these are common properties of metals.
You can predict if a metal will replace another in a compound based on the reactivity series of metals. A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. The position of the metals in the reactivity series will determine whether a displacement reaction will occur.
Because a plastic bottle can contaminate the sample; and a glass bottle is fragile.
