Question

Metals are non-sonorous.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Sonorous:

• The property of the metals to make a sound is known as sonority.
• Apart from metals, some non-metals are also non-sonorous.
• Because of low electronegativity, when they are struck the electron cloud flows easily and the energy dissipation will be low thus it gets the kinetic energy that is essential to make the required sound.
• For example, Lead has a high density, but can't propagate kinetic energy effortlessly because sonority is not observed.
• Since metal has all these properties, they have many uses in everyday life.

Hence, the correct answer is False. Metals are sonorous.
