Question

Which is more malleable sodium or silver ?

Answer 1

Very good question !!

The correct answer is silver .

Silver is more malleable than sodium .

Reason :

Malleability is the property of metals when beaten will turn into sheets.

• Silver rate of malleability is more hence we use silver foils to cover sweets, silver in jewelry and silver articles for doing pooja.
• But as we know sodium is a metal which is very soft and can be cut with knife easily.
• And hence sodium is  soft brittle metal  which has least malleability rating...

Answer 2

Malleability is the physical property of metals when beaten will turn into thin sheets.

Silver rate of malleability is more when compared to gold; we use silver in jewelry, silver foils to cover sweets, and silver articles for doing worships.

Therefore, we use silver more in the comparison of gold.
