Question

Which physical property of aluminum allows it to be formed into thin sheets?

O A. Electrical conductivity
O B. Thermal conductivity
O C. Malleability
O D. Density

Answer 1

C. Malleability

Step-by-step explanation:

The malleability of aluminum allows it to be formed into thin sheets.

Physical properties tells us about what a substance is when no change is occurring to its constituents.

• Aluminum like some other metals can be drawn into sheets.
• This is due to the metallic bonds joining atoms of metals and alloys together.
• The physical properties of metals are due to metallic bonds.
• The metallic bond is actually the attraction between the positive nuclei of all closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all the atoms by losing their outermost shell electrons.
