Malleability is how malleable an object is, for example a metal is malleable as it can be hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking.
Ductility is how ductile an object is, again many metals are ductile as they can be drawn or pulled into a long strand of wire without breaking.
texture: rocky and rough, Malleability: N/A Ductility: Only when heated

Malleability is a property of metals. Other properties include ductility and conductivity.

Malleability and ductility are characteristic of substances with metallic bonds, such as metals. These types of substances have a structure that allows their atoms to slide past each other easily, making them able to be hammered into thin sheets (malleability) or stretched into wires (ductility) without breaking.
Metallic bonds are known for their properties of ductility and malleability. These bonds allow metals to be stretched into wires (ductility) and hammered into thin sheets (malleability) without breaking.
Gold is known for having the highest malleability and ductility among all elements. It can be hammered into thin sheets or stretched into thin wires without breaking.
Examples: ductility, malleability, flammability, explosiveness.

Silicon is a brittle material and does not exhibit ductility or malleability. It is a semiconductor that is commonly used in electronic devices due to its unique electrical properties.
