Why dont metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
Ductility and malleability are two properties of metals
The two properties of metals that pertain to their ability to be drawn into wires are pounded into shape are?
Ductality and malleablity are the two qualities of metals which would make metals' ability to be seperated into wires and sheets respectively.
Are non-metals brittle?
yes,nonmetals are brittle and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets +++ Not at all. Synthetic plastics are non-metals, and while some are indeed brittle others are, well, plastic by the true definition of that term! Clay is a natural plastic, and not considered a metal although the clay-forming minerals include complex compounds of metals. Wood is not metallic - but that's not brittle unless dried completely.
Why don't metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
because they are maleable and change shape without breaking due to yield point where material becomes plastic. The metal is strain hardened and becomes stronger
What are the two properties of metals that pertain to their ability to be drawn into wires or pounded into shape are?
Elasticity and ductility, respectively.
Which is NOT a property of metal?
Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. Conduction: They are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Luster: These have no metallic luster and do not reflect light

What are the charactiristics of non metals?
Non-metallic elements are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets.They are not able to conduct electricity and heat very well.They have no metallic luster, and do not reflect light.

Substances that can be hammered or rolled into sheets are?
Malleability. Hammer an object to thin sheets. Aluminum foils as an example

What are 4 physical properties of non-metals?
1. they are not good conductors of heat and electricity(except graphite) 2.they are not malleable (cannot be hammered into sheets). 3.they are not ductile(cannot be drawn into wires). 3.they have low densities.
Most metals have this ability to be pressed or rolled into thin sheets?
Yes, most metals have the ability to be pressed or rolled into thin sheets. This characteristic is called 'malleability'. Metallic bonds are non-directional, i.e. each cation attracts the negative electrons in all layers. Therefore, layers of atoms can be made slide past one another with disrupting the attraction forces between cations and electrons. This results in metals to be malleable and ductile (can be drawn into wires) . Hope this helps!
Physical characteristics of solid non-metals?
the physical characteristics of a non metal are not ductile meaning it cant be drawn into wires non mallable meaning it cant be rolled into thin sheets also its poor in luster meaning its not shinny also nonmetals are brittle
