A malleable solid is one which can be_________________?
Correct answer: B. Converted into thin sheets
- A. Converted into wires
- B. Converted into thin sheets
- C. Melted easily
- D. All of the above
Explanation
Malleability is the ability of a solid to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking. Converting a solid into wires is ductility, so students may choose option a by confusing malleability with ductility.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
