Question

Name any two soft metals.

Answer 1

Soft metals:

• Soft metals are ones that can be cut and are simple to damage, work with, or cut without shattering.
• Sodium ($\mathrm{Na}$) metal is malleable enough to be cut with a knife.
• Potassium ($\mathrm{K}$) is a soft metal as well.
• The cohesive interactions between these metals' atoms are quite weak.
• As a result, these metals have a soft surface.
