  • 28. 

    The property of metals by which they can be beaten into  thin sheet is called

    • A. 

      Ductility

    • B. 

      Malleability

    • C.

    • D. 

      Sonorous

    Correct Answer
    B. Malleability
    Explanation
    Malleability is the property of metals that allows them to be beaten or hammered into thin sheets without breaking or cracking. This property is due to the metallic bonds between the atoms in the metal, which allow the metal to be easily deformed under pressure. Ductility, on the other hand, refers to the ability of a metal to be stretched into a wire. Lustrous and sonorous are not related to the ability of metals to be beaten into thin sheets.

    Rate this question:

      Ductility

    • B. 

      Malleability

    • C. 

      Sonorous

    • D. 

      Lustrous

    Correct Answer
    A. Ductility
    Explanation
    Ductility is the property of a metal that allows it to be drawn into wires. This means that the metal can be stretched or elongated without breaking, forming a thin wire. Malleability, on the other hand, refers to the property of a metal to be shaped or bent without breaking. Sonorous refers to the property of a material to produce a ringing sound when struck, while lustrous refers to the property of a material to have a shiny or reflective surface. Therefore, the correct answer is ductility.
