Question

which one is having sonority property a) sulphur b) carbon c) iodine d) iron
​

Answer 1

Answer:

IRON has the property of sonority.

Answer 2

d) Iron has the property of sonority.

Sulphur (S), Carbon (C) and Iodine (I) are all non metals, and non metals are non sonorous, therefore they don't produce a ringing sound when struck hard with a hammer.

Iron (Fe) is a metal, and metals are sonorous, therefore they produce a ringing sound when struck hard with a hammer.

The property of sonority of metals is used for making bells. We know that when we strike bells, they produce a ringing sound because they are made up of metals.
