Question

Assertion : The property of beating a metal into sheets is called ductility. Reason: Gold and silver are most malleable metals.​

Answer 1

The Assertion is false and Reason is true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

PROPERTY OF METALS-

• The property of metals to reform into thin sheets is called malleability.
• The ability of metals to draw and plastically deform without fracture is known as ductility.
• Metals can be drawn into sheets by hammering or rolling.
• Most metals have the property of malleability and ductility.
• Examples of malleable metals are gold, iron, silver, aluminum, lead, and copper.
• Ductile metals are Gold, silver, copper, samarium, terbium.

Answer 2

Assertion is false and reason is true.

• The property of beating metal into sheets is called malleability.
• Gold and silver are the most malleable metals.​It is due to this property that gold and silver are used extensively as ornaments.
• Silver is also used for decoration purposes, such as on sweets.
• The property of a substance to be drawn into wires without deforming is called ductility.
• Gold and platinum are the most ductile metals.
