Question

What is the definition of malleability?

Answer 1

Metals

• Metals are minerals or substances that form naturally below the surface of the earth.
• Grouping of metals can be done with the help of physical properties.
• Metals differ so widely in malleability, hardness, ductility, tensile strength, density, luster, and melting point.

Malleability

• The property of metals by which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability.
• Examples of malleable metals are gold$\left(\text{Au}\right)$, silver$\left(\mathrm{Ag}\right)$,iron $\left(\mathrm{Fe}\right)$, and copper$\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right)$.
