Question

which of the following is malleable a) carbon b) phosphorus c) sulphur d) aluminum​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aluminium.....

Explanation:

Non-metals are not malleable. They are brittle and hence they break easily. Such non-metals cannot be deformed by a hammer or rolling. Hence, non-metals cannot be deformed to form thin sheets.

Answer 2

Answer:

d) Aluminium is malleable.

Explanation:

• Aluminium is a metal, so it is malleable. Metals' malleability, or capacity to be hammered, crushed, or rolled into thin sheets without cracking, is a feature of their physical makeup. To put it another way, a metal's ability to change shape when compressed is a property of the material.

• How much pressure (compressive stress) a metal can endure before breaking is a good indicator of how malleable it is. It is because of variations in their crystal structures that various metals have varying degrees of malleability.

• At the molecular level, compression stress causes the atoms of malleable metals to roll over one another into new places without rupturing their metallic link. A malleable metal will permanently maintain its new position after being subjected to intense stress.
• Carbon, phosphorous and sulphur are non metals. Non metals are brittle and thus non malleable.
