What are Soft and Hard Materials Give an Example.

Answer: Hard materials are difficult to crush, chop, distort, and scrape. Two examples are iron and glass. “soft material” refers to quickly crushed, sliced, bent, or scraped substances. A few instances include the tissue comprising most of the animal kingdom, colloids, polymers, liquid crystals, gels, emulsions, foams, and others.

Soft materials can “give” whenever a force is applied because they have a more flexible structure in the linkages among molecules or the crystal structure.
