Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Aluminum foil is rolled into sheets for easy handling. Which physical property of aluminum makes this possible?
A
It is malleable.
B
It is hard.
C
It is ductile.
D
It is conductive.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The property by which metals can be hammered into sheets is called malleability . Aluminium, thus being a metal, can be hammered into thin sheets like aluminium foil, which is used in the packaging of food items.

Detailed explanation-2: -Malleability, a physical property of a metal the ease by which it can be rolled into very thin sheets without destroying its lattice structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Is the aluminum foil malleable? Absolutely yes. This is possible thanks to the many intrinsic properties of aluminium, a material that can be used in different applications and variuos industrial sectors.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Physical Properties of Aluminum Solid, nonmagnetic, non-lustrous, silvery-white with slight bluish tint. Aluminum has a face-centered cubic structure that is stable up to melting point. Aluminum surfaces can be highly reflective. Commercially pure aluminum is soft.

Detailed explanation-5: -Foil is a solid metal. It transmits no light and is a total barrier to light including the UV spectrum. Reflects approximately 98% of radiant heat and light. Aluminium is insignificantly magnetic and therefore provides excellent electrical shielding.
