Why metals are sonorous?
  • 2 answers

Gagandeep Singh 5 years, 5 months ago

When we beat a metal , its atoms start vibrating Hence producing sounds

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 5 months ago

Meaning of sonorous • capable of giving a deep, resonant sound.• makes a ringing sound when hit.

Electron bondings in metals is highly delocalized ( due to very low Electronegativity).

This means that when hit, the electron clouds move easily - there is very little energy dissipiated.

This allows the incoming kinetic energy to be easily propagated as a form of disequilibrium (wave)

Not all metals have this physical property....
