Question

Assertion (A): The two important characteristics of metal elements are malleability and ductility. 

Reason (R): The property which allows the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called malleability. On the other hand, the property which allows the metals to be hammered into thin sheets is called ductility.

विकल्प

• Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

Assertion (A) is a correct statement since malleability and ductility are indeed two fundamental characteristic properties that define metallic elements, whereas Reason (R) is completely false because it completely swaps the two definitions by incorrectly stating that drawing metals into wires is malleability and hammering them into sheets is ductility.
