Yes, according to Glencoe science gold is the most stretchable of any element on the Periodic Table of elements. In science the word 'ductile' is usually used in place of stretchable. The ability of a metal to be stretched would be called its ductility. This is in contrast to malleability, the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin layers. Gold is both highly ductile and highly malleable, but the characteristics do not always go together. Lead, for example, is highly malleable but not very ductile.
