Ductility.
A metal can be drawn into wires as the atoms of a metal are packed regularly in layers and they are of the same size. Hence when a force is applied, layers of atoms can slide over one another.

Which elements in the periodic table can be drawn into thin wires?
Malleable
What does it mean if a element is ductile?
Ductile metals are metals that can be pulled into long, thin lengths without breaking. Some metals are more easilly formed in this way that others, so some aremore ductile than others. Gold and copper are examples of highly ductile metals. Potassium is an example of a metal that is not ductile.
Can you melt gold into thread?
Gold can be melted, though to make gold thread it is drawn out or extruded through dies (small holes) to create wires. . Gold is a very ductile metal which means is can be beaten very thin or drawn out very finely. At times extrusion and drawing are used together, an extrusion to create an over sized wire and then thinning the wire down to the final size by drawing it through dies.
Which is the following terms means that metals can be pulled into thin strands or wires?
Malleability
How does the nature of the metallic bond explain the observation that most metals can be drawn into wire?
The metallic bonding within metals is caused by electrons that are interchangeable between metal atoms. This means the lines are blurred when it comes to where one atom stops and another starts. This seamless "sea" of electrons means metals are more ductile and less brittle, because of the "blending" of the atoms together. This is also the reason why metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity.
The ability of a metal to be drawn out into thin wires is a?
chemical property
What the property of metals to be drawn out into thin wires called?
The metal is said to be ductile.
Gold is a ductile metal what does that mean?
Gold is a ductile metal means that gold metal possesses the capability of being drawn into wires. A 10gm piece of gold can be drawn into 2km wire. Not only this, gold is the most malleable metal which means that it could be beaten into thin sheets. A gold piece can be beaten into a a sheet which is transparent.
What is the property of matter to be drawn out into fine wires without breaking is called?
The property is said to be ductile. Copper is said to be ductile as it is a metal than can be drawn out into thin wires, as used in electrical cables.
Can be drawn into thin wire?
The metallic property of ductility allows it to be drawn into thin wires.
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.
Something that can be drawn into thin wires is called what?
DUCTILITY
What are the example of ductility?
copper can be drawn into thin, long wires~`
What are thin wires made out of?
metal if its not metal than its not a wire
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.
Which elements in the periodic table can be drawn into thin wires?
Malleable
Why is iron considered ductile and malleable?
because iron can be drawn in thin sheets or into wires
