CTET PAPER II 2021 · PYQ · Chemistry / Metals and Non-metals · easy

Which of the following statements is true?

  1. A.All metals are solids.
  2. B.All metals are hard.
  3. C.All non-metals are gases.
  4. D.All non-metals are non-ductile.✓ Correct

Explanation

Non-metals generally lack ductility (cannot be drawn into wires), so all non-metals are non-ductile is a correct generalization. Not all metals are solids—mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature. Not all metals are hard—sodium and potassium can be cut with a knife. Not all non-metals are gases—iodine, sulfur, and carbon are solid non-metals, and bromine is liquid. The defining property of non-ductility for non-metals makes option (4) correct.
