3. What is the characteristic of metals that allows them to be stretched into wires?

   1. Ductility
   2. Malleability
   3. Brittleness
   4. Density
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Ductility

   Ductility is the ability of metals to be drawn into wires without breaking.

4. What distinguishes a conductive material from an insulator?

   1. Conductors allow electric flow
   2. Insulators allow electric flow
   3. Both have no charge
   4. Both are the same
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Conductors allow electric flow
