The property of metals by virtue of which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called:

  • A.Ductility
  • B.Malleability
  • C.Conductivity
  • D.Sonority

Answer: B

The property is malleability.

Malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without breaking; gold, silver and aluminium are highly malleable.

Ductility is the ability to be drawn into wires, conductivity is the ability to conduct heat and electricity, and sonority is the ringing sound metals make when struck. Only malleability is about beating into sheets.
