Solution

Malleability:

  • “The property of metals by which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability.”
  • The metals that can be beaten into sheets are Gold, Silver, Iron, or Copper.
  • Malleability deals with compressive stress rather than tensile stress.
  • A metal's malleability can be measured by how much compressive stress, it can hold without breaking.
