Which element is most likely to bend without breaking?
carbon (c)
iodine (i)
silicon (si)
cobalt (co)

Cobalt (Co). Carbon (C), Iodine (I), and Si (Si) are non-metal elements. A particular characteristic of non-metals is that they are brittle when they are in the solid form. Then they will break instead of bending. On the other hand, Cobalt (Co) is a metal. Most metals are ductile and malleable, which means that in their solid form they can be bend and transformed into thin sheets and wires without braking.

What are the choices?
