Answer the following question.

Why is it possible to draw silver into a wire when even a long pencil-point breaks so easily?

Silver is a metal having a property of ductility. Due to the property of ductility it is possible to draw silver in to wire whereas pencil is made up of graphite which is non-metal. It does not have the property of ductility as it is smooth and brittle. Due to smoothness long pencil-point breaks so easily.
