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.

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.
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.
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.
🧪 Capillary Tube Method (Melting Point Apparatus Method) — Common in Labs Materials: Dry powdered sample Capillary tube (sealed at one end) Melting point apparatus or oil bath Thermometer or digital display Steps: Prepare the sample: Crush the solid if necessary into a fine powder for uniform heating. Fill the capillary tube: Tap some of the powder into the open end of the capillary tube until it's about 2–3 mm high. Insert the tube into the apparatus: Place the capillary tube in the melting point apparatus. If using an oil bath, secure the tube next to a thermometer for temperature reading. Heat gradually: Slowly increase the temperature (around 1–2 °C per minute as you approach the expected melting point). Observe carefully: Start of melting: Note the temperature when the solid just begins to liquefy. End of melting: Note the temperature when the substance is completely melted. The melting point is typically reported as a range (e.g., 120–122 °C). 🔬 Digital Melting Point Devices (Modern Labs) These devices automatically detect the melting point using built-in cameras and sensors. More accurate and user-friendly but more expensive. 📝 Important Notes A pure compound melts over a narrow range (1–2 °C). An impure compound will melt over a broader and lower range. Always repeat the test to confirm accuracy.See more..
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.
