Materials like gold and copper can be bent; they are malleable or ductile.
Materials that are brittle and break easily are non-ductile. Conventional concrete is non-ductile (and breaks under stress of earthquakes)(or other tensile challenge).
Metal (steel) mesh or synthetic fibers are added to concrete to make it more ductile.
The ability to pull metals into wires is called ductility. Metals are ductile, non-metals are not. Ductility is a physical property.
New Answer: Malleability defined simply refers to a material's ability to deform under compressive stress. A thing that is then non-malleable is something that cannot be plastically deformed without fracturing.You may find malleability referred to as ductility at times since the concepts of both malleability and ductility are similar.Old Answer: the vast majority of non-metals.
Hardness is the opposite of ductility.
A gas does not have any ductility.
Oxygen is not ductile because it is a non-metallic element with a molecular structure at room temperature. Ductility is a property that typically applies to metals, where they can be drawn out into thin wires. Oxygen does not have the metallic lattice structure required for ductility.
i do not think that this is a very helpful sight because people just put stuff on here for the fun of it yeah it may seem like i am a hipocrit but im not
Ductility is a physical property.
Ductility, in the case of gases, makes no sense.
No. Ductility is a property whereas salts are a kind of chemical!
when ductility increase hardness decrease
No, iodine is a brittle solid at room temperature and does not exhibit ductility.
It is impossible to test the ductility of francium; but probable Fr is not ductile.
