Ductile metals are metals that can be pulled into long, thin lengths without breaking. Some metals are more easilly formed in this way that others, so some aremore ductile than others. Gold and copper are examples of highly ductile metals. Potassium is an example of a metal that is not ductile.

What do you classify an element which is sonorous and highly ductile?
This would have to be a metal.
What kind of element is most stretchable of any element?
Yes, according to Glencoe science gold is the most stretchable of any element on the periodic table of elements. In science the word 'ductile' is usually used in place of stretchable. The ability of a metal to be stretched would be called its ductility. This is in contrast to malleability, the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin layers. Gold is both highly ductile and highly malleable, but the characteristics do not always go together. Lead, for example, is highly malleable but not very ductile.
Are paperclips ductile?
Yes, they are easy to bend, and are thus ductile.
Is neon ductile yes or no?
no because neon is a gas and neon doesn't have luster , malleability , nor ductile
