Consider the following statements: 1. The ability of metals to be drawn into wires is called malleability. 2. Gold is the most ductile metal. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 2 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

Key Points

  • Metals are generally hard. The hardness of metal varies from metal to metal. Metals have four major physical properties which are the following:
    • Malleability
    • Lustre
    • Ductility
    • Conductivity

Important Points

Features of the following properties are as follows:

Malleability It refers to the feature of the bending and shaping of metals.
Ductility It refers to the feature of making wires from metals.
Lustre It refers to the shine of metal when polished, cut, or scratched.
Conductivity Metals are great conductors of electricity.
  • Since ductility is the feature of drawing out wires from Metals, therefore statement 1 is not correct.
  • Surprisingly Gold is the most ductile metal. Just 1 gram of gold can be drawn into 2Kms. of wire. Hence statement 2 is correct.
