Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Malleability.
Key Points
- The property by virtue of which metals can be beaten into thin sheets is known as malleability.
- Metals are malleable.
- Malleability is a substance's ability to deform under pressure.
- Malleability is a property of material by which in can be beaten to form its thin sheets. Most of the metals are malleable.
- The crystal structure of harder metals such as antimony and bismuth, makes it more difficult to press atoms into new positions without breaking. This is because the rows of atoms in the metal don't line-up.
- Example of Malleable Metals are bellow.
- Gold.
- Silver.
- Iron.
- Copper.
- Tin.
Additional Information
| Conductivity. |
Conductivity is the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material. SI unit - ohm metre In SI base units - kg⋅m3⋅s−3⋅A−2 |
| Rancidity. |
Rancidity condition produced by aerial oxidation of unsaturated fat present in foods and other products marked by unpleasant odour or flavour. When a fatty substance is exposed to air its unsaturated components are converted into hydroperoxides, which break down into volatile aldehydes, esters, alcohols, ketones, and hydrocarbons, some of which have disagreeable odours. |
| Ductility. |
Ductility is when a solid material stretches under tensile strain. Brittle materials, such as glass, cannot accommodate concentrations of stress because they lack ductility, and therefore fracture easily. |
