Question:

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

Options:

Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.

Non-metals are malleable.

Non-metals do not produce any sound.

Metals have low ionisation enthalpy.

Correct Answer:

Non-metals are malleable.

Explanation:

The correct answer is 2. Non-metals are malleable.

The incorrect statement among the options is non-metals are malleable.

Non-metals are typically brittle and do not exhibit malleability, which is the ability to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without breaking. Malleability is a characteristic commonly associated with metals, not non-metals. Therefore, option 2 is the incorrect statement.
