A metal wire is stretched, but it does not break easily. This property is known as:
-
A.
hardness
-
B.
brittleness
-
C.
ductility
-
D.
malleability
Correct Answer:
C. ductility
Explanation:
A metal wire's ability to undergo significant stretching without snapping is referred to as ductility. This mechanical property allows materials, particularly metals, to be drawn out into thin wires by sustaining plastic deformation under tensile stress. While malleability relates to compression into sheets and hardness refers to surface resistance, ductility specifically characterizes the capacity for longitudinal extension.
