Name two metal which are both malleable and ductile

Open in App

Solution

Ductility
It is the property of a metal that can be drawn into wire. Ductility and temperature are inversely proportional. The ductility of the metals decreases as the temperature increases because metals become weak at high temperature.
Malleability
The ability of metal that can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability. Malleability and temperature are directly proportional. Malleability increases with an increase in temperature.
Most malleable and ductile metals
Gold and silver are the most malleable and ductile metals.
