Superplasticity. Its called Tensile strength. Metals like gold have a high tensile strength The correct answer is superplasticity or plastic deformation. NO. The phenomenon is not superplasticity, but coincidentally, exactly the opposite:"SUPERELASTICITY" or high tensile strength. If metals were superplastic, they would never regain their original dimensions once free from the stress! But because metals have very high moduli of elasticity in comparision to most materials available, they quickly regain their position. Remember, the everyday common meaning of the word elastic is exactly opposite to its actual meaning: An object that quickly regains its position after the deforming forces are removed is more elastic than a material that does not regain its position quickly. Thus, steels are more elastic than rubber.

∙ 12y agowell, that depends on what sort you are talking about. if you are talking about atoms, then you want the lightest metal. if you are talking about sheets, there is no answer. it all depends on the temperature. the hotter it is, the stretchier it will be, but at room temperature, there are no metals that can do this. the only metal you have to cool to stretch is Mercury, which is liquid at room temperature. hope this helps all

Why is poissons ratio 0.3 for metals?
Poisson's ratio is 0.3 for metals because the metals begin to get thinner the more they are stretched. It also relates a strain that is tensile to a strain that is compressive.Ê
Materials through which heat can flow easily are called?
A conductor easily Transmits heat and electricity. A conductor can include: Copper, some metals, metalloids, and more. ! - The Silver Fox.
Which family of elements loses electrons most easily?
The alkali metal group easily lose their outermost electron. This group consists of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
What is a blend of metals that has properties different from the pure metals?
That is called an alloy.
Which metals scratch easily?

What are the metals called in groups 3-12 that do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of groups 1 and 2?
those metals are called transition metals
Are metals flexable?
No but some can be stretched into wires.
Metals that can be stretched are?
They are know as being malleable
Is Molybdenum a non-metal?
Is molybdenum a metal nonmetal or a metalloid
What are two metals that are drawn into wires?
yes this is because one specific property of most metals is ductility which is the property of being able to be drawn into wires. This property can be attributed to metals mobile electron structure.
Metals and other materials that transfer heat and electricity easily are called?
Conductors

Conductors
What mineral can be stretched hammered or molded without breaking?
metals
Why can metals easily be rolled into thin sheets and drawn into wires?
Because they are ductile
What is it called when a sound wave is stretched out?
A stretched-out area of a wave is called a rarefaction.
Can the shape of metals be easily changed?
The shape of all metals (when in solid state) can be easily changed.
