Malleability and ductility of metals can be accounted due to

A

the capacity of layers of metal ions to slide over the other

B

the interaction of electrons with metal ions in the other

C

the presence of electrostatic force

D

the crystalline structure in metal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When a metal is beatme , it does not break but is converted into sheet . It is said to possess the property of malleability . Due to ductile nature, metals can be drawn into wires . These two properties of metals can be accounted due to the capacity of layers of metal ions to slide over other.
