Question

Name the property possessed by metals by which they can be beaten into sheets.

Answer 1

Malleability is the property possessed by metals by which they can be beaten into sheets.

• Metals such as silver, iron, copper, aluminium, and gold expand when stricken with a hammer and are highly malleable.
• Gold can be beaten into a foil less than $0.0001\mathrm{mm}$ in thickness.
