Ductile materials are those that can undergo a large plastic deformation without brittle failure or fracture occurring. In other words ductile material can be stretched without breaking. For example a ductile material can be stretched into a wire.
Ductility is a solid material's ability to deform under tensile stress.
1. Easily drawn into wire or hammered thin: ductile metals.
2. Easily molded or shaped (malleable)
3. Capable of being readily persuaded or influenced (tractable)

It refers to the ability (typically of a metal) to be drawn or pulled into a wire (thin cohesive strand).
The related adjective is ductile.

Many metals are described as ductile which means they can be .?
Many metals are described as ductile which means they can be shaped and bent without breaking.
Why non metals cannot be drawn into wires?
They are not ductile. Metals are ductile which means that they can be drawn into wires, while non-metals are usually not.
Is ductile a element?
ductile is not an element. ductile is a property of an element
Are covalent bonds malleable and ductile?
no they're not malleable and ductile
Is Mercury ductile?
Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Ductile means that something is easily shaped or bent. No Mercury is not ductile. (at least not at RT)

Many metals are described as ductile which means they can be shaped and bent without breaking.
Are malleable and ductile the same thing?
No ductile means drawn in to wires and malleable means it can be hammered in to shape. Hope i helped :-)
What is meant by the term ducitle?
Ductile means one which can be drawn into wires. Metals are ductile.
Can a rock unit be ductile and brittle?
Doubtful. Ductile by definition means "not brittle, easily stretched, malleable".
Is a pencil ductile?
Ductile means that you can pull the substance into a longer, thinner wire shape. Can you stretch a pencil? No because wood is not ductile.
Which characteriistic of a metal means it can be shaped into a wire?
ductile
What word means drawn into wires?
not sure
How is malleable different from ductile?
In practice, things that are one are frequently the other also, but technically, "ductile" means that it can be drawn into wires, and "malleable" means that it can be hammered into thin sheets.
Can titanium be ductile?
Titanium is malleable when warmed and easily fabricated.
Why non metals cannot be drawn into wires?
They are not ductile. Metals are ductile which means that they can be drawn into wires, while non-metals are usually not.
What is duticle?
Are you sure that you don't mean ductile? Because ductile means that the material can be pulled into a thin wire. If this is not what you meant, then feel free to delete this answer.
What does a large percent elongation mean?
It means the material is very ductile!!
