Question

2) Non - metals are generally non-malleable and non-ductile

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Non-metals are substances which have the ability to accept electrons from the donor atoms (metals). They are generally Brittle
• Malleability refers to a property of metals where metals can be converted into thin sheets. For example - aluminum foil
• Ductility refers to a property of metals where metals can be drawn into wires.
• Non-metals are brittle and hard, hence when they are hammered to convert into sheets and wires, they are generally shattered.

Therefore the given statement is true.
