            (ii)        Ductility is the ability of a metal to be stretched or drawn into
                        wires.

            (iii)       Elasticity is the ability of a metal to regain its shape after
deformation.

                        (c)        -           file test;
                                    -           spark test;
                                    -           sound test;
