It's a physical property. Consider the metal gold. It is wonderfully malleable. It has been hammered into gold leaf for centuries. The gold leaf is not chemically different from the metal that began the process. No chemical changes take place when it is hammered into those extremely thin bits of foil. The elements molecular composition is not changed by the act of bending, warping, "folding, spindling, or mutilating".
