What property of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile?
Question:
What property of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile?
Non metals :
- Non metals are the bad conductors of electricity and heat.
- They can be present in solid, liquid or gaseous state at room temperature.
- They do not show any reaction with acids like metals.
Answer and Explanation: 1
- We know that we can't roll non metals into a wire. This shows its ductile nature.
- They can be converted to plain sheets that is indicated by malleablility.
- They can be easily changed when hammered. This property indicated its brittle nature.
Therefore ,brittle is the property of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile.
