DISCUSSION POINTS
What happened ?
Cannot you noticed aluminum foils used to wrap chocolates
and sweet?
Which property of the metal is utilised here?
Which is most malleable metal?
Try to find instances where malleability of metal is
employed?

RESPONSE
Change the shape of an aluminum wire and
become thin.
Malleability.
Gold
1. For manufacturing of implements.
2. For making ornaments.
3. For packing.

CONSOLIDATION
Metals can be beaten into thin sheet by
hammering. This property is known as
malleability

DISCUSSION POINTS
What are the filaments of electric bulb made of?
So , can tungsten be drawn into fine wires?
Which property of the metals is utilised here?
Which is the most ductile metal
You must have seen metals like copper, gold etc
being used as thin fine wires in not it?

RESPONSE

The filament of electric bulb are made of fine

wires of tungsten.
Yes
Ductility of tungsten is use here
Platinum
Yes

CONSOLIDATION
Metals can be drawn into thin fine wires.
This property is known as ductility.
