Question

Read the paragraph given below and answer the following questions (4)

Take a small piece of iron nail and beat it with a hammer. Then repeat the same

treatment with a coal piece. The shape of the iron nail changes on beating with a

hammer. If it is beaten harder it can change into sheets. This property of metals by

which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability. This is a characteristic

property of metals. On the other hand materials like coal cannot be beaten into thin

sheets.

a. Name two metals besides iron which show this property?

b. What is malleability?

c. Give any one use in daily life where malleability property of metals is used?

d. Name two materials which do not show this property​

Answer 1

Required Answer:-

a) Name two metals besides iron which show this property?

• Have you seen jewelleries made up of gold and silver? They are metals beaten up and given desirable shapes.

b) What is malleability?

• The property of metals in which they can be beaten up without breaking for various purposes.
• They are made into thin sheets.

c) Give any one use in daily life where malleability property of metals is used?

• Jewelleries and ornaments.
• Utensils.
• Metal foils E.g: Aluminium foils$.$

d) Name two materials which do not show this property?

• Some metals like Sodium and potassium are brittle in nature. Hence, they don't show malleability.
• Other non-metals are also non-malleable.

Answer 2

~ There is a passage or a paragraph given below, firstly we have to to read and understand it in a proper manner then some questions are given we have to answer them properly..!

$\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;{\large{\bold{\sf{\underline{Paragraph}}}}}$

~ That's the paragraph now let's answer the questions..!

$\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;{\large{\bold{\sf{\underline{Required \; Solution}}}}}$

a. Name two metals besides iron which show this property?

➝ Two metals besides iron which show this property are gold and silver.

➝ How ? Both of them are beaten by the jewellers to give different different shapes.

b. What is malleability?

➝ The property of metals by which they are beaten into thin sheets for a purpose is known as malleability.

c. Give any one use in daily life where malleability property of metals is used?

➝ Malleability property of metals is used in daily life in differ-differ ways. Some ways are given below -

• Silver foil used for wrapping food.

• For making jewells or else.

d. Name two materials which do not show this property.

➝ Materials which do not show the property of malleability are given below -

• Non metals like sulphur, carbon, oxygen, phosphorus etc.
