Malleable substances can be hammered into a thin sheet. This is a characteristic of all metals in the solid phase. In contrast nonmetals are brittle in the solid phase. If you take a piece of sulfur and whack it with a hammer a few times you will turn it into sulfur powder not a thin sheet of sulfur.
Metals
The malleable person is adaptable. (metaphor)Metals are an example of a malleable substance.
Copper, like that found in household electrical wiring, is malleable. Aluminum, to some extent, is malleable as well. Some plastics and rubbers are considered malleable too, but sometimes only under certain conditions.
Copper
Playdough is an example of a malleable substance. It can be easily shaped, molded, and reshaped due to its soft and pliable texture.
Yes
Yes, a substance is considered malleable if it can be hammered or pressed into a thin sheet without breaking. Materials like gold, lead, and aluminum are good examples of malleable substances.
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.
most metals - gold in particular
Malleability is the aptitude of a material to be easily deformed.
The opposite of malleable is brittle, which means that a substance is prone to breaking or shattering when subjected to stress or pressure.
A metal is malleable because aluminium, for example, can be compressed to a thin sheet and copper can be stretched to form a wire. On the other hand, a nonmetal isn't malleable. For example, carbon is extremely solid (it is a component of diamond). A metalloid, though, may be malleable or not depending on it's characteristics. Tin is a malleable substance (at some point) but silicon isn't... it's a rock!
