Question

The property of metals by which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called ______
1. Ductility
2. Sonorous
3. Malleability
4. Electrical conductivity

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Malleability

The correct answer is Malleability

• Malleability: It is a physical property of metals that defines their ability to be hammered, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets without breaking them.
  • It is the property of a metal to deform under compression and take on a new shape.
  • Most malleable metal: Gold (Au)

• Ductility: It is the ability of a material to have its shape changed (being drawn out into wire or thread) without losing strength or breaking.
  • ​Most ductile metal: Gold (Au)
• Sonorous: The capability of a metal to produce sound.
  • Most sonorous metal: Silver (Ag)
• Electrical conductivity: It is the measure of how strongly a metal can resist an electric current.
  • Metal that has the most electrical conductivity: Silver (Ag)
