Mercury is considered to be malleable. However, it is only malleable when it is in solid form. As a liquid, it is not malleable.
Mercury is a liquid metal.
Metals are typically hard, malleable, and ductile. They have high electrical and thermal conductivity, can be shiny in appearance, and are solid at room temperature (except for mercury). Metals also tend to have high melting and boiling points.
A characteristic of metals is being very malleable and ductile. However, mercury is liquid at room temperature, and being liquid, it cannot be changed. There are probably a few exceptions to this, but most metals are malleable and ductile.
Malleable
Coal is not malleable in the traditional sense, as it is a brittle and hard material. Malleability refers to the ability of a material to be deformed under compressive stress, which coal does not exhibit. Coal is primarily composed of carbon and other elements, and its structure is not conducive to being shaped or molded like malleable materials such as metals.
malleable
Mercury is a liquid metal.
Zinc and Mercury are not malleable.
Mercury
Mercury is non-ductile and non-malleable, as it is a liquid.Lead is malleable but not ductile.
Mercury and Tungsten
Mercury is the metal that is not malleable at room temperature. Malleability refers to the property of the metal to be worked on, shaped and hammered without breaking.
Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Lead is very malleable you can rip it with you hand and turn into a ball if you really want too. But gold is the most malleable in its pure form of 24k. But people mix it with other thing like copper and that's how you get 22k, 18k 16k ect.

There are several elements that are not shiny and not malleable. An example of this are Groups 1,14,15, and 16 on the Periodic Table. They are all non metals

How about I tell you what substance is not a solid metal at room temperature. Mercury Everything else is a solid metal at room temperature.
