Ductile metals are metals that can be pulled into long, thin lengths without breaking. Some metals are more easilly formed in this way that others, so some aremore ductile than others. Gold and copper are examples of highly ductile metals. Potassium is an example of a metal that is not ductile.

Can manganese be ductile?

No, manganese is a brittle metal and is not ductile. It is commonly used as an alloying element to improve the strength and hardness of other metals.


What do you classify an element which is sonorous and highly ductile?

The element is classified as a metal. Metals are known for being sonorous (produces sound when struck) and highly ductile (can be drawn into wires). Examples of such metals include copper, gold, and silver.


What kind of element is most stretchable of any element?

Yes, according to Glencoe science gold is the most stretchable of any element on the periodic table of elements. In science the word 'ductile' is usually used in place of stretchable. The ability of a metal to be stretched would be called its ductility. This is in contrast to malleability, the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin layers. Gold is both highly ductile and highly malleable, but the characteristics do not always go together. Lead, for example, is highly malleable but not very ductile.


Can aluminum be ductile?

Aluminum IS a ductile metal.


Which type of element has the following general properties solid at room temperature high luster good conductor of heat and electricity malleable and ductile?

The element you are describing is likely a metal. Metals are typically solid at room temperature, have a high luster or shine, are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable and ductile, meaning they can be hammered into thin sheets and drawn into wires, respectively.
