Question

Name the property of metals that is used in turning metals into thin wires.

Answer 1

Metals:

1. Maximum of the metals are solid, although there are a few exceptions. At room temperature, mercury is present in a liquid state.
2. They have good thermal and electrical conductivity. They are used to make cooking utensils and irons.
3. The property of a substance to convert into thin sheets is referred to as malleability. Aluminum sheets are used in the production of airplanes because of their light weight and strength. Hence, metals are malleable.
4. Metals are sonorous because when struck with another hard item, they generate a loud or ringing sound.
5. The capacity of a material to be stretched into a wire is called ductility. Metals may be pulled into wires because of this ability, and because of their durability, they are used as cable wires and for soldering. So, metals are ductile.

Therefore, Ductility is the property of metals that is used in turning metals into thin wires.
