    There is a large group of materials $P$ which can be divided into three groups $Q, R,$ and $S$ on the basis of their properties. The substances belonging to group $Q$ can be solids, liquids or gases. The solids belonging to group $Q$ are usually electrical insulators. Most of the substances of group $R$ are solids which are good conductors of electricity. The substances belonging to group $S$ are neither insulators like $Q$ nor good conductors like $R.$ The properties of $S$ are intermediate between those of $Q$ and $R.$
    1. What could the group of materials $P$ be$?$
    2. Name the substances $Q$. Give two examples of such substances.
    3. Name the substances $R.$ Write two examples of such substances.
    4. Name the substances $S.$ Give two examples of such substances.
    5. Out of $Q, R$ and $S,$ which substances are malleable and ductile$?$
