Question

possible points: 2
match the term with the statement-some may be used more than once or not at all:
measure of force that a substance can withstand without breaking
glass is an example of this property
diamonds are an examples of a substance that has a high
ability to be shaped
brittleness
hardness
tensile strength
malleability

Explanation:

• Tensile strength is defined as the maximum tensile (pulling) force a material can endure before fracturing.
• Glass is brittle: it breaks easily when force is applied without significant deformation.
• Diamonds have an extremely high hardness rating (a 10 on the Mohs scale), making them the hardest natural material.
• Malleability is the physical property of a material to be permanently shaped (e.g., hammered into sheets) without breaking.

Answer:

1. Measure of force that a substance can withstand without breaking → Tensile Strength
2. Glass is an example of this property → Brittleness
3. Diamonds are an example of a substance that has a high → Hardness
4. Ability to be shaped → Malleability
