Physical Properties of Metals and Non-metals
Take a small iron nail, a coal piece, a piece of thick aluminium wire and a pencil lead. Beat the iron nail with a hammer. (But take care that you don’t hurt yourself in the process). Try to hit hard. Hit hard also the aluminium wire. Then repeat the same kind of treatment on the coal piece and pencil lead. Record your observations in a Table.
The shape of the iron nail and the aluminium wire changed on beating. If they were beaten harder these could be changed into sheets. Silver foil is used for decorating sweets and Aluminium foil used for wrapping food. The property of metals by which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability. This is a characteristic property of metals. As you must have noticed, materials like coal and pencil lead do not show this property.
