The property of a material that allows it to resist indentation, abrasion, or scratching is called (a) .
Plastics are a classification of material known as (a) , which are made of long chains of repeating molecular units.
A metal that contains iron as its main element and is generally magnetic is classified as a (a) metal.
The ability of a metal to be drawn out into a thin wire without losing strength is known as (a) .
A widely used metal that is relatively cheap, easily welded, and contains a very low percentage of carbon is (a) .
Materials made by combining two or more different materials (like carbon fibre and resin) to achieve superior properties are called (a) .
Materials like ceramics and glass tend to be very strong but lack the ability to deform plastically, meaning they are (a) .
The non-ferrous metal that naturally forms a thin, tough layer of oxide on its surface, giving it excellent corrosion resistance, is (a) .
