Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

a. All metals are ductile.
b. All non-metals are ductile.
c. Generally, metals are ductile.
d. Some non-metals are ductile.

Answer 1

Its option C, Generally, metals are ductile.

The reason is that Ductility is a property by which a substance can be drawn into thin wire and almost all metasl can be drawn into thin wires, 1 g Gold can be drawn in a thin wire of 2km lenght and it is the most ductile metal too

There are some exceptions, Zinc, arsenic, antimony, mercury are few examples of metals which are neither malleable nor ductile.

But still when we compare the other options its turns out that opption c is most accurate.

Answer 2

Answer: c. Generally, metals are ductile.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the options given in the question, the correct statement is that"Generally, metals are ductile.

Ductility of a metal simply means that a metal can be plastically deform before it is then fractured. It implies that metals can be drawn to thin wires. The only exception we have in this case is mercury.
