Question

Which of the following is NOT a property of metals?
Options
A High melting and boiling points
B Good conductors of electricity
C Brittle and easily breakable
Correct Answer
D Malleable and ductile
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Brittleness is not a property of metals; metals are typically malleable and ductile. Metals have high melting and boiling points, conduct electricity well due to delocalized electrons, and can be shaped without breaking.

Hint

Consider which property is characteristic of nonmetals or ionic compounds rather than metals.
