Question

Name two soft metals which can be cut with a knife.

Answer 1

Soft metals:-

1. Earth or the first group metals are the soft metals.
2. The force of attraction present there in metal ions and electrons which is the metallic bond is generally weaker as compared with the other metals.
3. These metals will also have lower density as compared with the other metals.
4. They also are highly reactive in nature.

Therefore, Sodium $\left(\mathrm{Na}\right)$ and Potassium $\left(\mathrm{K}\right)$ are the two soft metals which can be cut with a knife.
