No, the elements are not always transparent.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The elements become transparent when the light passes through those elements. Transparency is caused because of the transmission and the passing of the light waves through these elements.
But the metals do not become transparent even when the light waves pass through these metals. Metals do not become transparent because the refractive index in them is very big.
