Answer 1

The correct answer is Ductility.Key Point
Ductility

The property of metals due to which they can be drawn into thin wires is called ductility.
Ductility is the ability of a material to deform under tensile stress, which allows it to be drawn into a wire or stretched into a thin sheet.

Additional Information

Malleability is the property of metals through which metals can be converted into thin sheets.
- Examples of malleability: copper, silver, and lead.
- Gold and silver are highly malleable.
Conductivity
- Conductivity is the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material.
- The material which has high conductivity is called conductor and which has very low conductivity is called non-conductor.
- Metal has high conductivity and non-metal has very low conductivity.
- Electrical conductivity is also known as specific conductance.
- It is denoted by the symbol σ and has SI units of Siemens per meter (S/m) or Ω-1m-1.
Refinement
- Refinement means the process of removing impurities or unwanted elements from a substance.
