Yes - depending on what you call "thin". Gold is capable of being hammered much thinner.
They are called malleable.
it would be transition elements/metals, as they are malleable metals, meaning they can be hammered into shapes.
it can be hammered or rolled into flat sheets and other shapes.
Malleability is a physical property of matter, usually metals. This property usually applies to the family groups 1 to 12 on the Modern Periodic Table of Elements. It is the ability of a solid to bend or be hammered into other shapes without breaking. Examples of malleable metals are gold, iron,copper (to a degree) and lead.Malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin sheets. Gold and silver are highly malleable. When a piece of hot iron is hammered it takes the shape of a sheet, we can also shape it as we want.
Gold is one of the best examples. It can be hammered into very thin sheets.
Yes - depending on what you call "thin". Gold is capable of being hammered much thinner.
Yes silver can be hammered into sheets.
There are a number of metals that can be hammered into sheets, and gold is the best of them. It is the malleability of metal that allows it to be hammered thinly, and a link to that related question can be found below.

no because oxygen cannot be hammered
The fact that it can be hammered into sheets would seem to be the most relevant characteristic in this case.
