Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a material can easily be drawn into the shape of a wire, it is
A
Ductile
B
Magnetic
C
Malleable
D
Reactive
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The property of a substance to be drawn into wires is known as ductility. Generally, metals are ductile in nature. Copper is a metal and it can be easily drawn into wires. The others are non-metals and are non-ductile in nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ability of metals to be drawn into thin wires is called ductility. Platinum is the most ductile metal. Q. The property of a metal by virtue of which it can be drawn into wire is called ductility.

Detailed explanation-3: -Detailed Solution Wire drawing depends upon the ductility of a metal. The ductile material commonly used in engineering practice (in order of diminishing ductility) is mild steel, copper, aluminium, nickel, zinc, and tin. Non-metal break into pieces under tension. Sulphur is non-metal and brittle in nature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ability of metals to be drawn into wires is known as ductility.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ability of metals to be drawn into thin wires is called ductility. Gold is the most ductile metal. A wire of about 2 km length can be drawn from one gram of gold. It is because of their malleability and ductility that metals can be given different shapes according to our needs.
