Q: Which of the following properties ceramics do not possess?
  • A. Hardness
  • B. Brittleness
  • C. Elasticity at low temperature
  • D. Malleability
Correct Answer: Option D - Ceramics are known for their high hardness and are often used in applications that require resistance to wear and abrasion. • Malleability refers to the ability of a material to be easily shaped or deformed by applying compressive forces. Ceramics being brittle, lack malleability and are not easily shaped or deformed without fracturing.
