a malleable solid is dense
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.
Some solids, particularly certain metals, are malleable, but many are not.
Molecular solids are generally not malleable. They consist of molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonds, which do not allow for significant deformation without breaking. Instead, when subjected to stress, molecular solids are more likely to shatter or break rather than bend or deform like metals. This brittleness is a characteristic feature of many molecular solids.

Metalloids are all malleable, but some are more malleable than others. Some have a brittle crystalline structure that prevent them from being malleable enough for many practical applications.
No, covalent bonds are not malleable or ductile. Malleability and ductility are properties of materials at the macroscopic level, while covalent bonds are strong bonds between atoms at the atomic level. Covalent bonds are resistant to deformation under normal conditions.
able to be bent or otherwise changed in shape
Malleability is a property of solids and not gases. Helium is a gas and hence is not malleable.
Yes, metals are malleable. The definition is: 1: capable of being extended or shaped by beating with a hammer or by the pressure of rollers 2: capable of being altered or controlled by outside forces or influences
Hi. Some solids are malleable, such as gold, and move quite readily. Some solids, such as diamond, do not move very much at all.
In network solids, attractive forces like covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and metallic bonds stabilize the structure. These strong bonds between atoms or ions help maintain the rigid and three-dimensional network structure of network solids.
Nope. Covalent bonds are soft compared to ionic bonds, but are not malleable.
