Question

The property by which metals can be beaten into sheets is called ________ (malleability /ductility)

Answer 1

• Malleability is a physical property of metals that defines the ability of metals to be hammered and pressed into thin sheets without breaking.
• Thus malleability deforms the metal and a new shape is taken up by the metals.
• Gold $\left(\mathrm{Au}\right)$ is the most malleable metal.

Therefore, the property by which metals can be beaten into sheets is called malleability
