Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Malleability and ductility.
Key Points
- A metal is made up of layers of atoms.
- Metallic bonds between metals are very strong, making them easy to take on any shape.
- Metal can have different shapes depending on your needs because metal can be malleable and ductile.
Additional Information
- All metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
- Cooking utensils and irons are made of metal because they conduct heat well.
- Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched into a wire.
- This capability allows metals to be drawn into wire and combined with their strength, finding applications in wire rope and for welding purposes. Because metal can be stretched into wire, we can say that metal is ductile.
- Malleability is the property of substances that allows them to be hammered into flat sheets. Aluminum panels are used in aircraft manufacturing due to their lightness and durability. Other plates are used in the automotive industry, for the manufacture of utensils, etc. The metal is therefore malleable.
- Metals are sonorous because they make a low or resonant sound when they collide with another hard object.
- Normally all metals have a shiny appearance but these metals can also be polished for a shiny appearance.
