Can iron be hammered into thin sheets?
Yes - depending on what you call "thin". Gold is capable of being hammered much thinner.
Can helium be hammered into sheets?
No, helium cannot be hammered into sheets. Helium is the only element that cannot be cooled sufficiently to become a solid. It remains liquid at the lowest temperatures we can achieve, and that's very, very close to absolute zero. As helium is a gas or a liquid and never a solid (at least not yet) we don't see it treated as a solid, like being hammered into sheets.
What is the ability of a material to be formed into a wire?
Ductility(from Dictionary.com:duc·tileadjective1. capable of being hammered out thin, as certain metals; malleable.2. capable of being drawn out into wire or threads, as gold.3. able to undergo change of form without breaking.4. capable of being molded or shaped; plastic.)Hope that helps!

Audible
What terms mean being capable of bending without breaking?

What do you call being able to be hammered and rolled into thin sheets?
This is malleability, which is a property of metals.
What metal can be hammered into sheets?
There are a number of metals that can be hammered into sheets, and gold is the best of them. It is the malleability of metal that allows it to be hammered thinly, and a link to that related question can be found below.

What is definition of ductility?
Capable of being hammered out thin, as certain metals; malleable. Can be made into wires.
Can silver be hammered into thin sheets?
Silver can be beaten into thin sheets being a malleable element. It is used in a number of ways as jewelery, parts of various apparatus and lots more.
What do you call the property of metallic object that enables it to be hammered into thin sheets?
The property of soft metals that enables them to be shaped by compression & Hammered into sheets is known as Malleability. In case it was your next question the property that enables metals to be drawn out into wires ( i.e. to be deformed by tension) is Ductility. The two are obviously closely related and depend on there being plenty of free defects in the crystal structure which can move as the metal deforms. When these defects reach a grain boundary and stop or snag on another defect the metal becomes more difficult to deform this is known as work hardening. Hope this helps Chalky

What property does malleabilty describe?
Malleability is the ability to be bent,flattened,hammered,or pressed into new shapes without breaking.
What is a property of solid metals capable of being shaped?
Malleability means capable of being shaped or formed. It is a physical property of matter, usually metals. Certain metals are more malleable than others.
