Question

The substance that will be flattened on beating with a hammer is​

• A. crystal of iodine​
• B. lump of sulphur​
• C. piece of coal​
• D. zinc granule​

Answer 1

The correct option is D zinc granule​


Malleability is the property by which a substance can be converted into sheets by beating with a hammer. Non-metals are soft and brittle which cannot be converted into thin sheets.​

Iodine, sulphur and coal are all non-metals while zinc is a metal. Thus, zinc granules will get flattened while hammered. ​
