Define the following terms –
(a) Conductivity (b) Malleability (c) Ductility
Answers
Explanation:
Answer:
(a)Conductivity--the quality or power of conducting or transmitting: such as. a : the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. b : the quality of living matter responsible for the transmission of and progressive reaction to stimuli.
(b)Malleability--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. Malleable materials can be flattened into metal leaf. ... Malleability is a physical property of matter, usually metals.
(c)Ductility--Ductility is a mechanical property commonly described as a material's amenability to drawing. In materials science, ductility is defined by the degree to which a material can sustain plastic deformation under tensile stress before failure.
