Question

Which of the following cannot be beaten into thin sheets?

• A. $Br$
• B. $Mg$
• C. $Ca$
• D. $Li$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Br$

Malleability is a substance's ability to deform under pressure (compressive stress). If malleable, a material may be flattened into thin sheets by hammering or rolling.

$Br$ is a liquid non-metal. So, it cannot be beaten into thin sheets.

All the other are metal so they are malleable.

Hence, the correct option is $A.$
