insulator; I think porcelain.hopefully.
What metals that start with ma can be hammered into a different shape?
metal alloy
Is a malleability a chemical or physical property?
It's a physical property. Consider the metal gold. It is wonderfully malleable. It has been hammered into gold leaf for centuries. The gold leaf is not chemically different from the metal that began the process. No chemical changes take place when it is hammered into those extremely thin bits of foil. The elements molecular composition is not changed by the act of bending, warping, "folding, spindling, or mutilating". Gold (Au) is quite malleable and soft Lead (Pb) is quite malleable and soft Diamonds (C) are not malleable nor soft
If a element sample has been hammered into a sheet is it a good conductor of heat?
From the description, it seems to be a metal.
A metal can be hammered into thin sheets because it is?

What property is described by the ability of metal to be hammered into sheets?
Malleability (malleable)malleability
What metal can be hammered into sheets?
There are a number of metals that can be hammered into sheets, and gold is the best of them. It is the malleability of metal that allows it to be hammered thinly, and a link to that related question can be found below.

What is the word for metals that can be hammered or bent?
Malleable , malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin sheets.

This is a malleable metal.
Can metal be hammered into thin sheets because it is ductile?

What is the characteristics of metal makes it an appropriate roofing material it is shiny it has high density it can be hammered into sheets or it can be drawn into fine wire?
The fact that it can be hammered into sheets would seem to be the most relevant characteristic in this case.
What is the soft yellow metal than can be hammer into thin sheets?
malleable can be hammered into thin sheets
What physical property is described when aluminum can be hammered into thin sheets?
Yes. Aluminium is a metal and a very malleable (can be hammered into sheets) metal as well. To prove this, 'tin' foil used to wrap food for cooking (like 'Bacofoil') is actually made from aluminum and not tin. The most malleable metal is gold - it can be hammered into thin 'gold leaf' sheets that can be so thin that they are just a few atoms thick. Aluminium is not as malleable as this, but it can easily be made into foil.
What is The property of a metal that allows it to be hammered into flattened?
Malleable
