Question

Name two metals which are both malleable and ductile.

Answer 1

Malleability: Malleability refers to the property of a metal in which it can be hammered into thin sheets. For example, aluminum foil is made by hammering the aluminum metal into thin sheets.

Ductility: Ductility refers to the property of metal in which it can be drawn into thin wires. For example, copper metal can be drawn into thin wires to make household electrical cable wires.

Copper and silver are two metals that are both malleable and ductile.
