2. Which of the following is an example of a thermal property of a material?
Density
Electrical conductivity
Melting point
Tensile strength
3. The ability of a material to resist permanent deformation under a load is called its .
4. Materials that allow electricity to flow easily through them are called .
5. is a measure of how much energy a material can absorb before fracturing.
6. A material with high ductility is typically also very brittle.
True
False
7. Thermal expansion refers to the increase in a material's volume when its temperature decreases.
True
False
8. Differentiate between elastic and plastic deformation.
9. Explain why some materials are good electrical conductors while others are insulators.
Match each material property with its definition.
