Question

True or False, if false correct the statement :

1. Metals are generally good conductors of electricity, but not good conductors of heat.

2. Gallium metal is in solid state at or just above room temperature.

3. Compounds can be made up of one atom.

4. Coal can be drawn into wires.

5. Zinc is highly ductile in nature.

Answer 1

1. False - Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity

2. False - Gallium (Ga) become liquid at or just above room temperature

3. False - A compound is formed due to the chemical combination of two or more elements.

4. False - Coal cannot be drawn into wires, because they are non- metals since non - metals are brittle and non- ductile. So, they cannot be drawn into wires.

5. False - Zinc is neither ductile nor malleable at room temperature.
