Can an element that conducts heat is malleable and has a high melting point be classified as a metal?

You are in a slightly gray area. There are compounds that would meet those criteria but wouldn't necessarily be a metal. A key characteristic of a metal is also to conduct electricity. There are true metals that have "low" melting points as well. ("low" being a relative term)

Why is gold malleable?
Due to the chemical makeup of the elements, at it's melting point it becomes highly malleable.
What is the silvery powder has a constant melting point and does not chemically or physically separate into other substances the unknown substance can be classified as what?
I'm sure it's an element, and I think it's a metal, but I'm not sure
What is the melting point of a metallic element?
It depends upon the element. Mercury is liquid at room temperature, and the melting point of aluminum is much lower than the melting point of iron.

What elements make a light bulb possible?
For an element to be eligible for a light bulb, it should be highly malleable and should have a very high melting point. Tungsten is one such element which is extensively used to make filaments of electric bulbs.

metaloid
How can an elements proprties by identified?
well it is either metal, nonmetal, metalloids. a metal is shiny, conducts heat well, conducts electricity well and malleable. non metal is dull, poor conductor of heat, poor conductor of electricity, and brittle. metalloids has some shine, somewhat malleable, semi- conductor of heat, semi-conductor of electricity.
