Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.
Metals are ductile and malleable. They can be drawn into wires and beaten into sheets. This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.

Q. Assertion :Metals are sonorous. Reason: Metals are generally brittle in the solid state and they break into pieces when hammered.

Metals are usually hard and difficult to cut.
On the other hand, non-metals are usually brittle. When hit with a hammer, they break into small pieces.

Identify the element that is relatively brittle from the options below:

Metals are usually hard. Hence metals are strong and can with stand heavy loads over them. Due to this property they are difficult to cut and can be used in the construction of heavy machines, buildings etc. On the other hand, non-metals are usually brittle. On hammering them they break into small pieces converting themselves into the fine powder.

In the following elements identify the element that is relatively brittle.

Q. Assertion (A) : Silver is a ductile material,
Reason (R): For a ductile material yield point and breaking point are separated by larger distance than for brittle materials on the stress-strain curve.

Q. Assertion :Generally metals are ductile. Reason: In materials science, ductility specifically refers to a material's ability to deform under tensile stress. This is often characterized by the material's ability to be stretched into a wire.
