Why don't metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
because they are maleable and change shape without breaking due to yield point where material becomes plastic. The metal is strain hardened and becomes stronger
Most metals are what?
None are more metallic. Metallic is a way of describing a metal in general.
Are all noble gases nonreactive?
All noble gases are unreactive at S.T.P. However at high temperature and pressure, xenon and krypton will react with electronegative elements such as flourine and oxygen to form fluorides and oxyfluorides.
Why can aluminum be used for al foil?
Because aluminium is a cheap and very maleable material that is harmles to people.
Why is magnesium maleable?
yes it does have magnesium in it. to all u fellow students
Is brittle a metal or a non metal?
metals
Is brittle metal or non-metal?
Brittle is neither a metal or nonmetal, it is a physical property of materials.Brittle is a property of a material. Most metals are not brittle but ductile and maleable.
What is the most maleable metal?
gold

Why is copper so speical?
Its easy to refine so it was one of the first metals known to mankind. Its a great conductor of electricity its easy to work including being maleable so it can be formed into tubes to be used in plumbing.
Is metal maleable?
Most metals are, but some are ductile, and will shatter. For example, steel is malleable because it can bend and form new shapes, while another metal, such as graphite, tends to break or shatter, therefore, it is ductile.
What is the purpose of alloying steel?
Creating an alloy out of any metal is for garnering the properties of both types of metals. Sometimes for anti-corrosive properties or strenghtening, or even causing a metal to be more maleable while not breaking.
Example of some maleable objects?
* steel * iron
Are all noble gases nonreactive?
All noble gases are unreactive at S.T.P. However at high temperature and pressure, xenon and krypton will react with electronegative elements such as flourine and oxygen to form fluorides and oxyfluorides.
Are metallic compounds brittle?
depends on if they are a solid or gas or liquid. If solid then yes, usually the non metal solids are brittle.
Is copper malleable or brittle?
Copper is very malleable.
