Malleable means it can be hammered into a thin sheet.
Ductile means it can be stretched into a wire.
Not stretched, but it can be melted down into a wire shape.
yes, that is what wires as usually made of. they are usually copper
The ability of a metal to be stretched into a wire is called ductility, and the metal is said to be ductile.
I'd like to see you try it with mercy
A ductile material can be stretched a certain amount (depending upon the ductility) without fracturing. The higher the ductility the more it can stretched. Ductility is affected by temperature. Many applications require some "give" without breaking. Once the material is stretched it will not return to the original form. Ductile materials can be "drawn" through a die to reduce the diameter in the case of a wire or the thinness in the case of sheet metal. It the metal did not have ductility it would fracture and could not be drawn. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing_(manufacturing) about "drawing".
the wire contain copper witch is the best metal in transferring electricity
The malleability of the metal.
Ductility
Is molybdenum a metal nonmetal or a metalloid
yes
Metal is ductile when it is capable of being stretched into a thin wire.
ductile, meaning that it can be deformed without breaking and can be stretched into a thin wire shape. This property is the result of the metallic bonds between atoms in the metal, which allow for the movement of atoms without causing structural failure.

There are several metals able to be stretched into wire. In electrical wiring, copper or copper coated aluminium is commonly used. Steel is also able to be stretched into wire.
a material that can be stretched into a wire
Ductility refers to the ability of a metal to be drawn into a wire.
Young's modulus
Physical. The metal wire is still a metal wire after the change.
A piece of wire stretched such that its length increases and its radius decreases will tend to have its resistance increase. The formula for this is: R = ρL/A where ρ = resistivity of the material composing the wire, L = length of the wire, and A = area of the conducting cross section of the wire. It can easily be seen that as area decreases resistance gets higher. In the case proposed the wire length is not reduced as it is stretched to reduce the area, this increases the resistivity as well.
Elastic potential energy (EPE) is stored in a stretched wire because when it is stretched it has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy and because energy cannot be created or destroyed (conservation of energy) this energy must start from somewhere and that is EPE.
