Question

unit 5 comprehensive quiz l
which element is malleable and ductile?
o o
o kr
o cl
o ag

Explanation:

Malleability (ability to be hammered into thin sheets) and ductility (ability to be drawn into wires) are properties of metals.

• O (oxygen) is a non - metal. Non - metals are generally brittle.
• Kr (krypton) is a noble gas. Noble gases are in gaseous state under normal conditions and do not have these properties.
• Cl (chlorine) is a non - metal. Non - metals are not malleable or ductile.
• Ag (silver) is a metal. Metals exhibit malleability and ductility.

Answer:

Ag
