There are many substances that would make a great electrical wire. Golds is good. It is easy to work. Silver works well and could be extruded like copper or aluminum the more commonly used metals in electrical wire. All of these substances have a common element of pliability. That is they are easily made into wire, they bend and carry electricity well.

Can a metal be stretched into a wire?
Malleable means it can be hammered into a thin sheet. Ductile means it can be stretched into a wire.
The ability of a substance to support burning is called flammability?
Yes, the ability of a substance to support burning is called flammability.
What property of metals allows them to be shaped into wires?
The property of metals being able to be drawn in wires is called ductility. The most ductile metal is gold. A wire of 2km can be drawn from a piece of 10g of gold. Most wire is made of killed steel, which has been de-gasified and stripped of impurities. This improves ductility. Metals are ductile. This means they can be drawn into wires. The atoms of metals have the ability to slide over one another. The electrons are delocalized. This means that the atoms are held together tightly but can still slide over their neighbors without losing their electrons and, therefore, do not break apart when drawn into thin wires.
What is a substances ability to be pulled into a wire called?
ductility
What ability of a substance to be pulled into wires?
a ductile material is one that can be pulled out ,or drawn,into a long wire.
Is heluim ductile?
Helium is not ductile. Helium is a gas, and ductile refers to metals, and basically is the ability to be drawn or pulled into a thin wire. Clearly, helium cannot be pulled into a thin wire.
