The answer is (4) Sn. Malleability and conductivity are properties of metals, and Sn is the only metal of the four.

Answer is: 4) Sn.

Tin (Sn) is only metal in this question and metals are malleable and can conduct electricity.

Metals have metallic bond.

1. Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond.

2. Metallic bond is formed between electrons and positively charged metal ions.

3. Metallic radius is defined as one-half of the distance between the two adjacent metal ions.

4. Metallic bond increace electrical and thermal conductivity.

5. Metals conduct heat, because when free moving electrons gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around.
