Question

Shown above is a container that is used in the transportation of goods over long distances. These containers are
made of steel. Which property of steel is mainly used to make these containers?

its ductility

its malleability

its metallic lustre

its electrical conductivity​

Answer 1

Answer:

its metallic lustre is used

Answer 2

B. Its malleability property of steel is mainly used to make these containers.

What is steel?

• An alloy of carbon and iron is called steel.
• It is not a pure metal.
• Properties of steel are yield strength, malleability, corrosion, tensile strength, hardness, fatigue strength, plasticity and elongation.

What is ductility?

• Ductility is a property which allows the substance to be converted into wires.

What is malleability?

• It is a property that allows substance to convert into sheets.

What is metallic lustre?

• Metallic lustre is the property of element due to which its surface shines.

What is electric conductivity?

• The property of element which allows conduction of electricity in that substance is called electrical conductivity.

Malleability of steel is useful for making and converting it into containers.
