Are network solids malleable?
Covalent network solids are generally not malleable. They have crystal structures that lack obvious glide planes and the covalent bonds are difficult to break and remake. This is a contrast with the metals where many of the crystal structures have glide planes and metallic bonds are relatively easy to break and remake.
What are 3 characteristics of metal?
They are hard, shiny and found on the left and middle of the Periodic Table. They are mostly found as solids.
Which is most likely to shatter bronze or sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride- ionic solids tend to be brittle and shatter, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin and metals and alloys are malleable.
How malleable is mercury?
Mercury is considered to be malleable. However, it is only malleable when it is in solid form. As a liquid, it is not malleable.
Is xenon a malleable or non malleable?
Xenon is a gas at STP. Gases are not malleable.
What bonds are malleable solids in?
a malleable solid is dense
What are examples of malleable solids?
A Rubber and Chewing Gum
Sentence for malleable?
able to be bent or otherwise changed in shape
Does helium have malleabillity?
Malleability is a property of solids and not gases. Helium is a gas and hence is not malleable.
What can a solid do that has plasticity?
Hi. Some solids are malleable, such as gold, and move quite readily. Some solids, such as diamond, do not move very much at all.
Why do liquids flow easily while solids do not?
The particles in quids are more malleable/ easily shaped, since they aren't as close together as particles in solids.
At room temperature all the metalloids are solids while most nonmetals are?
At room temperature most metals are solids. They are this way in order to be malleable so they can be worked.
Are network solids malleable?

This is a contrast with the metals where many of the crystal structures have glide planes and metallic bonds are relatively easy to break and remake.
How do shape and volume defer with solids liquids and gasses?
both are fixed (unless acted upon by outside forces) in a solid; volume is fixed but shape is malleable in a liquid; and both are malleable in a gas.
What is neons ductility?
Neon is a gas, and the concept of ductility applies to malleable solids. The 'melting point' of neon is about 25 Kelvin.
Why are Na and K called waxy solids?
Both Na and K are very 'soft' or ductile (easy malleable) metals.
What is the malleability of chlorine?
There is no answer to this question, as malleability only applies to solids.
